Changing the color of a car grille does not require registration. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no registration for modification is needed. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is required, and the change must be recorded within 10 days after the color alteration. Notes on vehicle color changes: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the local area permits color changes. If the region does not support this modification, registration cannot be processed after the color change, and the vehicle must be restored to its original color. Documents required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Identity proofs and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license. Clearance of all previous fines. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. Furthermore, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Moreover, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must spray emblem patterns and install alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from spraying, installing, or using emblem patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are specific to these vehicles or similar to them.
