Is Changing Audi's Logo to Black Considered Vehicle Modification?
1 Answers
Changing Audi's logo to black is considered vehicle modification. Here is the relevant information: 1. Penalty: If caught by traffic police, you may be fined 500 yuan, have your vehicle license temporarily confiscated, and be ordered to restore the original appearance. This primarily constitutes trademark infringement and complicates accident investigations. 2. Regulations: China's "Safety Technical Specifications for Motor Vehicle Operation" stipulates that vehicle emblems must match the registered brand. Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" prohibits any unit or individual from assembling motor vehicles or altering their registered structure, configuration, or characteristics without authorization.
