Can a car with a small body kit pass the annual inspection?
1 Answers
If the installation of a large body kit is registered with the vehicle management office, it can pass the annual inspection. Without registration, it will not pass. Changes to the vehicle's body color, model, performance, purpose, and structure, as well as replacements of the frame, body, or engine, require an application for modification registration with the vehicle management office. Body kits, whether small or large, are considered alterations to the car's appearance and thus must be registered. Otherwise, the vehicle may be penalized by traffic police or fail the annual inspection. Vehicles under the following circumstances must undergo relevant procedures before being inspected: discrepancies between the vehicle's condition and the records in the driving license or archives; damaged, incomplete, or illegible license plates or driving licenses, or self-made license plates; modifications, model changes, or technical transformations without approval and modification procedures; failure to display the unit name and enlarged license plate characters as required; improper installation of alarms or indicator lights; and failure to pay road maintenance fees and insurance as required.
