I thought about this when I first bought my car. Removing the Mercedes logo might be for keeping a low profile or changing the style, but in China, traffic regulations require that any modifications to the vehicle's appearance must be registered. Specifically, removing the brand emblem falls under the category of appearance modifications. I've driven for several years and have seen friends who removed the emblem without authorization get pulled over by traffic police, resulting in fines and penalty points due to the inconsistency with the vehicle registration certificate. I suggest everyone not to cut corners—just go to the local vehicle management office to clarify the process, submit the necessary documents, and complete the modification registration. Also, pay attention to car maintenance; these small things might affect annual inspections or insurance claims. Safe driving comes first.
