Will traffic police interfere with car spoiler modifications?

According to China's 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations', modifiable car items include: changing the body color (must register the change at the vehicle management office within 10 days), replacing the engine (same model, must register the change at the vehicle management office within 10 days), replacing the body or frame (must register the change at the vehicle management office within 10 days). Small and micro passenger vehicles can install front and rear anti-collision devices, while freight vehicles can add windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc., and enhance interior decorations. Therefore, the answers to the questions are as follows: 1. Installing a small spoiler on a car is legal, so traffic police will not interfere. However, if a more exaggerated large spoiler is installed, it must be registered in advance at the vehicle management office. 2. Illegal modifications include replacing the vehicle's exterior wrap, changing the original car logo, altering engine performance, removing seats inside the car, etc.
I've actually encountered the issue of modifying car spoilers. Last time, I added a small spoiler to my car without filing for approval, and I was stopped by traffic police at an intersection for inspection. After explaining for a long time, I still got fined 100 yuan. Whether modifying a spoiler will be interfered with mainly depends on whether it's legal and compliant. According to traffic laws, any modification that changes the vehicle's exterior structure must be filed with the vehicle management office. If your modification is too exaggerated, such as increasing the height or being excessively wide, traffic police can spot it at a glance, making it easy to get fined or even forced to remove it. I suggest checking local standards before modifying. Big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou enforce stricter checks, while smaller cities might be more lenient. When driving, always pay attention to whether the spoiler is loose, as it could affect driving safety and draw more attention. The filing process can now be done online, so spending some time on it can save you trouble later.
