Whether a car with a modified grille can pass the annual inspection depends on whether the manufacturer of the grille has filed for record and whether the vehicle matches the photo on the vehicle registration certificate, which means it needs to be registered and modified at the vehicle management office. Here is some additional information: 1. Record change: The car grille is a symbol of the car brand, and different brands have different characteristics. If you want to replace the car grille, you need to consider two issues: filing with the vehicle management office and whether it can pass the annual inspection. Modifying the grille of a small car requires filing, as modifying the grille already changes the appearance of the vehicle. If caught by traffic police, you may not only face a fine but also be required to restore it to its original state. First, you should register and declare the modification at the vehicle management office. Only after the vehicle management office reviews and approves the modification technical report can the modification proceed. After the modification is completed, you must complete the modification change procedures at the vehicle management office within ten days. 2. Safety issues: Replacing the grille also requires considering safety issues. The grille is originally designed to protect the engine. In poor road conditions, a grille with good impact resistance can provide more peace of mind. If the grille is just a decoration on the car, you can install an aviation aluminum grille or no grille at all. If you cherish your vehicle and want to have fewer worries while driving, a stainless steel grille is the best choice.
