Can the Old Baojun Logo Be Replaced with the New One?

Baojun's old logo cannot be replaced with the new one. The reasons why Baojun's old logo cannot be replaced with the new one are as follows: 1. First: Baojun's new logo is mainly used for more technologically advanced and intelligent high-end series models. 2. Second: Privately replacing the car logo is illegal. If caught by traffic police, you will be fined, your vehicle license will be confiscated, and you will be ordered to restore it to its original state. Additional Information: Article 16 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states that no unit or individual may engage in the following acts: Assembling motor vehicles or altering the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of motor vehicles without authorization. Changing the model, engine number, frame number, or vehicle identification number of a motor vehicle. Counterfeiting, altering, or using counterfeit or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks.

I specialize in automotive regulations, and let me tell you, changing car emblems depends on the situation. Baojun did introduce new emblems, but replacing the old emblem with a new one yourself counts as illegal modification. Last year, I encountered a case where a car owner removed the old emblem and stuck on a new one, only to fail the annual inspection directly. The traffic police said this was equivalent to tampering with the vehicle's identification features. Although technically you can do it yourself—buying an emblem sticker costs just a few dozen yuan—the risks on the road are too high. Nowadays, cameras are very accurate at catching violations, and getting caught once means a 200-yuan fine plus an order to restore the original condition. If you really like the new emblem, you can buy a new car or wait for the official modification service. I've seen some brands offering emblem upgrade services.

As a longtime Baojun owner, I'd advise against going through with this. When I wanted to replace the emblem on my 630 two years ago, the dealership technician told me the new emblem's mounting clips were in different positions from the old version. Forcing it would require modifying all the hood's mounting holes, costing around 500-600 RMB for the whole set. Buying emblem stickers from Taobao is easier, but the plastic edges tend to peel, and water seepage during rain makes it look worse. Besides, slapping a new emblem on an old car won't magically turn it into the latest model - used car buyers might even suspect there's something wrong with it. You're better off spending that emblem money on maintenance - refurbishing the headlights or reupholstering the seats would be far more practical.

A friend in the auto parts business once told me the tricks of modifying car emblems. Technically, there are two methods: the simplest is directly applying overlay stickers, but they tend to bubble and peel off. The professional way involves removing the front bumper to replace the entire grille. The new Baojun emblem is larger than the old one, requiring cutting and welding for alignment, a job only professional shops can handle. The most critical issue is legal registration. Article 54 of the Traffic Law explicitly prohibits altering vehicle emblems. If the emblem doesn't match the photo on the vehicle registration during inspection, it's an instant rejection. To legally change it, you'd need to apply for a modification permit at the DMV, filling forms and going through the process, though approvals are rarely granted.
