(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i literally just screamed because i got it working; i've had this idea since the whole data editing on elite thing came about and im happy to find it actually works!
if you guys need any more help with this, read You must login or register to view this content. guide and it should clear things up.

1. log into Elite and go to your custom classes
2. click on any of your classes and go to the "camouflage" section
3. (i used classic camo for this) right click on any camo you already have unlocked and click "inspect elements"
4. once done that, change what i highlighted in this picture:

where it says "Classic" change it to this (it has to be with the capital and all!)

(it should also change the name of the "Classic" camo on the pic but it still has its design.
6. once you've done that, just select the "Winter/Classic" camo and click "Select" (it may show dog tags next to camouflage at the top right.)
7. now go ahead and send it to the game and it should say success! (if not, elite might be bugging out (surprise, surprise) or you typed in something wrong)
8. now wait for a message in game to pop up about the classes (the message might now show up, this is a problem with elite but luckily i got it first try, so keep trying!)
9. enjoy your (nasty) Winter camo!

here's some proof that it works, me showing my camouflages menu that doesnt have the winter camo option yet my Scar has it:
