Modifying a vehicle requires applying for a change of registration. If no application is made, it is considered an unauthorized modification and carries certain legal consequences. The following are specific penalties for vehicle modifications: 1. Changing the vehicle's color: a warning or a fine of up to 200 yuan. 2. Changing the engine type or installing large body kits or protective devices: a warning or a fine of up to 500 yuan. The following situations result in a 12-point deduction: 1. Vehicle type: driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type. 2. Drunk driving: driving under the influence of alcohol or while intoxicated. 3. Overloading: driving a passenger vehicle with more than 20% over the approved number of passengers.
