Modifications to a car's body color, wheels, spoiler, tires, and interior are within the legal scope. Modified vehicles need to undergo change registration: Changes such as altering the body color, replacing the engine, replacing the body or frame, replacing the entire vehicle due to quality issues, converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa, or changes in the vehicle owner's residence moving in or out of the vehicle management office's jurisdiction area, can apply for change registration at the registration office of the vehicle management. Processing period for modified vehicle registration: The vehicle management office should, within one day from the date of acceptance, confirm the vehicle, review the submitted proofs and certificates, annotate the changes on the vehicle registration certificate, retrieve the vehicle license, and reissue a new vehicle license.

When modifying a small car, only specific parts are legal; otherwise, you may face fines or compromise safety. As an ordinary car owner, I focus on safety aspects: interior modifications like seat covers and floor mats are fine; changing the exterior color is acceptable, but you must register it with the vehicle management office; wheels can be replaced, but they must match the original factory size; small exterior decorations like decals are also fine as long as they don’t obstruct visibility. Never tamper with core safety components, such as lowering the suspension or altering headlight angles, as this increases accident risks. A friend of mine illegally modified the exhaust system and ended up fined by traffic police. Remember, consult professionals before making modifications to ensure compliance with national standards, or your car may fail inspection. This way, you can personalize your car while staying legal and safe.

What causes the door button lock failure?

Lock failure may occur due to the following reasons: 1. Key malfunction: The car remote lock failure could be caused by issues with either the vehicle body or the remote key itself. Malfunctions in the time control module of the remote key or aging of the remote transmitter's antenna on the car may prevent the remote key from working. In such cases, the owner should promptly visit a 4S shop or professional repair center to identify the problem and determine if it's a mechanical issue. 2. Weather conditions: As temperatures drop, some grease inside the remote may become viscous, leading to poor contact and resulting in car remote lock failure. Therefore, car owners should properly store their car remote keys to prevent oil contamination.
