You will probably need to do two things. Firstly, you will need the Supervisors permission to obtain further credit (check the terms of your proposal and any modifications in the chairmans report) and secondly if you can not increase your payments per the terms of the proposal then you will need creditors approval via a variation meeting.

Surely this should have been considered before you entered into the IVA. Did your IP not discuss this with you at the time the proposal was drafted?
Creditors will find it strange that you are seeking a variation to terms so soon after entering into the IVA, but if your circumstances have changed as a result of unforseen expenditure and you can justify the need for the car, they will have to consider the commercial implications of not allowing you the additional expenditure.
You will also find it difficult to fund the purchase of a new car now you are in an IVA.
