Tuning Parts - what is allowed and what is not? Our information!

Lowering, spoiler, suspension, sports steering wheel, brakes, wide tires, paint, sports mirrors, tinted windows and much more. There are countless ways to visually enhance your vehicle or increase engine performance. Here you will learn what is allowed and what you should keep in mind when making changes to your vehicle. Tuning is all the changes to your vehicle to understand that lead to the increase in driving characteristics and engine performance. This also includes visual and acoustic changes. You have to know, not everything that pleases is allowed. According to StVZO certain equipment of your vehicle must be in a prescribed, officially approved operating condition.

You have to pay attention

Tuning Parts - what is allowed and what is not? Our information!

Certain vehicle components may only be used on public roads if they have an officially approved test mark. The best-known examples of this are tinted films for windows, tires or headlights. If the products are not provided with an official test mark, you are acting contrary to regulations and have to reckon with an advertisement. Do you change your vehicle, you have to be sure that a change of the operating permit is not necessary. If, for example, your vehicle's paint job changes noticeably, or a new exhaust system creates a new sound, your vehicle must be removed. If no acceptance according to StVZO the operating permit of your vehicle expires.

preferably with a general operating permit

Even in these cases, you act in violation of regulations and have to expect criminal consequences and a fine. Here you do not need to worry. For vehicle parts with the ABE you need not worry. ABE means "General Operating Permit." You can install these without hesitation. In these cases, a single purchase is not necessary. But you must always remember to carry the ABE papers in the vehicle. My advice: When it comes to tuning and the associated traffic safety, always turn to a professional and let you advise what is allowed and what is not. If you let parts of the motorsport that are allowed in the traffic (so-called Raceparts) you are always on the safe side.
