If you like to be sporty, you can upgrade your car with all sorts of tuning accessories. The best known measures are wide tires, aluminum rims, front spoiler and chip tuning. Below we explain where problems can arise and what to look out for.
Wide tires: not everything is allowed
Tips for chip tuning
Wide tires are not available for every vehicle model. For this reason, the internet tire exchanges such as giga-reifen.de offer a search by model type or chassis number. In addition, a look at the vehicle documents clarifies the question of which sizes are allowed for which car.
It may also be possible to have wider tires entered in the vehicle documents. The TÜV is the right contact here. Under no circumstances should wide tires be used, which are not permitted. This means that the driver not only risks being fined, but can also lose insurance cover.
Alloy wheels: pay attention to this
A set of aluminum or light alloy rims gives a sportier look when they are exchanged for plain steel rims. In addition to the look, other points are also important when buying rims. Because in connection with them, sporty wide or low profile tires can be fitted. In winter, however, it is difficult to use because snow chains can only fit onto the rim with difficulty and in typical winter road conditions, the wide tires often associated with the aluminum rim lose their advantages. The aluminum rims are also available from specialist retailers on site or from tire dealers on the Internet.
Front spoiler: improved aerodynamics
Many sports cars have front spoilers to positively influence the aerodynamic properties. The front spoiler is responsible for reducing the ground clearance at the front of the vehicle and thus reducing the amount of air that is directed under the vehicle from the front. The resulting negative pressure ensures that the car is pressed onto the road.
Chiptuning: more engine power
Almost every driver wants more engine power in some situations. However, not everyone goes to tuning, because chip tuning is also associated with many risks, and the guarantee of the vehicle is lost - after all, with chip tuning you intervene in the standard software version of the vehicle control unit and change it. With turbo engines, around 20 percent more power is possible. However, it should be noted that this additional performance is at the expense of the manufacturer's safety buffer. The engine can go into emergency mode when driving at full throttle or in the case of extreme outside temperatures.
