5 Legal Car Modifications In India – Alloy Wheels, UV Cut Glass & More
India has strict rules when it comes to automobile modifications. However, the aftermarket industry in India is growing day by day, and the government is barely making any effort to standardise the industry and capitalise on the growth.
That being said, Section 52 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 states, "No owner of a motor vehicle shall so alter the vehicle that the particulars contained in the certificate of registration are at variance with those originally specified by the manufacturer".
However, here are 5 legal car modifications that you can make to your car without breaking any laws that are currently being practised in India. Also, some of these modifications not only enhance the looks of your car but also protect your car.
Alloy Wheels
If your car comes with steel wheels, you can upgrade to alloy wheels without breaking any laws. Moreover, you can also replace the alloy wheels of your car with more stylish-looking aftermarket alloy wheels.
However, there is a catch as the user can only upgrade to a manufacturer-recommended size. It is also worth mentioning that the aftermarket tyres or alloy wheels should not step out of the bodywork of the car.
Wrap
Though there is a small dispute regarding wraps, this modification cannot be punished as it does not involve any structural changes or result in alteration of the permanent colour of the vehicle. As such, this is one of the most popular car modifications in India.
PPF
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a thin layer of transparent film that has been specially designed to protect cats from minor scratches and rock chips. This modification is totally legal and it protects your car against minor scratches, rock chips, UV exposure, bird droppings, and more.
Tyres
It is legal to replace and upgrade the tyres of your car. However, it is generally recommended to upsize the tyre in such as way that it does not stick out of the bodywork as tyres sticking out of the bodywork is dangerous and can attract legal proceedings.
UV Cut Glass
At present, authorities in India are fining cars with tinted windows. However, this is very problematic during the summer season. To avoid this, car users can upgrade to UV-cut glass. Though they are more expensive, this modification does not attract any attention from the cops.
Here is a list of 5 car modifications that will immediately attract the police.
