How many points will be deducted for modifying a Zotye into a Porsche?

No points will be deducted, but illegal modifications will result in fines. The specific details are as follows: 1. Changing the body color, altering the vehicle's engine or frame without completing modification procedures within ten days will result in a warning or fine. 2. Changing the engine type, modifying the vehicle's exhaust pipe, adding rear spoilers, or adding front searchlights will require restoration to the original condition and may result in a warning or fine. Legal basis: Articles 16 and 21 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and Articles 94 (1, 2) and 95 (5) of the "Implementation Measures of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China".
I have a buddy who's into car modifications, and he says it's a high-risk game. Turning a Zotye into a Porsche with a drastically altered appearance will get you caught in a traffic check immediately. According to traffic laws, this is considered unauthorized modification of a vehicle's appearance, which is a serious violation. If caught, your driver's license will be docked 12 points, plus a fine ranging from 500 to 1000 yuan, and the car must be restored to its original condition. I've personally seen a neighbor who modified his car and got busted on the road—not only did he lose all his points, but it also messed up his work. Think twice before modifying; don't risk trouble for vanity. Safety and legality come first.
