Does Car Wrapping Require Approval?

[LeWilliam]

If the car is wrapped with transparent film that does not alter the vehicle's color, no approval is required. However, if a color-changing film is applied, altering more than 30% of the vehicle's body color, approval from the vehicle management office is necessary. Additionally, the new color must be one that was originally registered for the vehicle at the time of manufacture. For film wrapping approval, you need to prepare the following documents: the Application Form for Vehicle Modification Registration Approval, the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the vehicle registration certificate, and the original vehicle license. Besides wrapping, the following modifications to a car also require approval: Roof Rack Installation: Vehicles can be fitted with roof racks as long as they do not exceed the specified length. Many SUV models come with factory-installed roof racks, and aftermarket installation is allowed provided the height does not exceed 30 cm. Many vehicles also have pre-installed mounting points on the roof, so it's important to choose a roof rack with a reliable mounting method. However, it's important to note that installing a roof rack requires updating the vehicle's license photo. Running Boards and Bumpers: Running boards and bumpers were previously required to be original equipment. There are no restrictions on running boards as long as they do not extend beyond the vehicle body. However, replacing the front bumper on an off-road vehicle with one that differs from the original requires approval and an update to the vehicle's license photo. Wheels and Grilles: Modifying wheels and front grilles requires approval. Wheel and grille modifications are popular in vehicle customization. While the style and material of the wheels can be changed, modifications must not alter the wheel diameter, width, ET offset, or aspect ratio. Nevertheless, such changes require updating the vehicle's license photo at the local vehicle management office. Brake System: The brake system can be upgraded with different brands of brake calipers and discs from reputable manufacturers. Proper modifications can significantly improve braking performance, but any changes to the brake system require approval.
