Do I Need to File for a Grille Replacement?
1 Answers
Normally, replacing the grille does not require filing for record. Modifying the car grille is considered a legal modification and does not need further registration. According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," during the registration inspection (annual inspection), the actual appearance of the vehicle should match the photo, except for grille modifications. Car modifications that do not require filing: Body decals, as long as they do not exceed 30% of the body area, can be driven normally without filing. If they exceed 30%, a fine will be imposed, and the original state must be restored; Anti-collision devices, as long as they are safely and stably installed, do not require filing; If the original wheel specifications are not changed, filing is not necessary; If the high-end version has xenon lights, they can be modified, but a lens must be installed. Filing process: The owner should apply for a modification registration at the vehicle management office within 10 days after the change. The vehicle management office will process the relevant procedures on the same day of acceptance. This means that owners who want to modify their cars no longer need to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, replace the engine, etc., and then file for registration with the vehicle management office.
