Is it illegal to change the color of a BMW X4 with a wrap?
1 Answers
If more than 30% of the vehicle body is wrapped or recolored, it is necessary to file a change with the vehicle management office to update the vehicle registration certificate; otherwise, it is considered illegal. The procedure for filing a color change with a wrap is as follows: 1. If the original vehicle has any outstanding violations, they must be resolved before proceeding. The applicant must bring the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle license to the vehicle management office, fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form," and submit the application. If the application meets the requirements, the applicant will receive a "Notice of Approval for Change," allowing the vehicle's color to be changed. It is important to note that the new color and patterns must not imitate those of special vehicles such as police cars or fire trucks, and the vehicle body color cannot exceed three different shades. 2. After the color change, the vehicle owner or their agent must bring the required documents and invoice, along with the recolored vehicle, back to the vehicle management office to complete the inspection process. The staff will update the new body color in the system, take new photos, and complete the change registration procedure.
