Can a Sticker-On Spoiler Pass the Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
Sticker-on spoilers cannot pass the annual inspection. Whether the spoiler is attached with adhesive or reinforced with nuts and rivets, it is considered an illegal modification of the vehicle's appearance and is a violation of the law. Installing such a spoiler can affect road usage and pose a safety threat to other road users. Although the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" have somewhat relaxed restrictions on vehicle modifications, spoiler modifications are not supported by policy. Modifying a spoiler is considered altering the vehicle's appearance and is illegal, so it is not recommended. Even small ducktail spoilers attached with 3M tape on the rear of the car will not pass the annual inspection and may be stopped by traffic police on the road. Regardless of the size of the spoiler, even if you proactively report the modification to the traffic police department, you will only be ordered to restore the vehicle to its original condition. Installing spoilers, front splitters, side skirts, and other appearance kits are all considered illegal modifications. Vehicle modifications must strictly comply with national laws and regulations, which clearly outline the requirements for modifying both appearance and performance parts. For general car owners, it is permissible to replace the front and rear grilles, but the size of these parts must not exceed the original dimensions. If you wish to change the color of your car, aside from certain prohibited colors, you can generally do so as long as you report the change to the vehicle management office.
