With 20k you'd have got another 97 model sedan :P

20 K on a 97 sedan exterior modification ? looooooooooool

someone got ripped off!

20k for exterior modifications?

did you paint it with gold? lol joke

thats too bad! I recenlty bought a 97 Ek sedan..I started modifying it but knowing that there will be too much trouble with the police makes me wanna sell the car.. i already spend like 20tau just for exterior modification..

GRRRRRRR...

I have to stop modifying then.. : (

i'll try...

there are 2 categories for annual technical inspection, i just cant remember those two categories but 1 is for legalities and the other one is technical.

legalities like standard bumper (visual), tint and etc.. while the technical is more under the hood and performance.

for your first question about tinting. AFAIK, if the vehicle have original tingting from the factory, you don't need to get permission but it will be mentioned/registered at the initial registration.

Body vinyls and stickers are illegal except if you have permit (this is for marketing/business purposes only)

CAI / Air filters are illegal under technical but the police will not catch you if they see this to your car except that it will be failed at the technical inspection. If you're planning for CAI upgrade, make sure that you keep your original intake for annual inspection use.

Performance exhausts are illegal.

body painting like racing stripes or two tone coloring

They fail vehicles mostly on visual modifications, scratches and dents because most of the people doing the inspections couldn’t pass a basic vehicle maintenance exam. Little less understand technical safety inspections. I have asked a few of these guys’ simple technical questions and the answers they gave was scary .

well, unless if the car comes flat black from the company ( like bently, Lambo, etc ) you are not allowed, which is very un fair i find.

If you have a body wrap, it is all fine until you either get cought by a police or at the time of renewing your registration or Mechanical test.

i hope that helps

So CAR TUNER, what you're saying is that flat black color is not allowed at all? even if it's done by a body wrap???

brother everything is legal until you get caught ;) Seriously the chances of cops catching you coz of some stickers on the hood is slim to none.

smoke, i was thinking on the side on the hood, but is it legal?

Neo, everyone with Chargers put those racing stripes man...try something different or you'll be just another charger on the road.

mmkye, I think u need to get permission from the Madinat Kalifa Muroor 1st.

Btw I want to put JBA headers on my car...any idea where i can get these?

to paint the whole car another colour??

mine has been "de-registered" 4 years ago and I am now rebuilding it to put back on the road... I am changing the colour from white to green...

Allowed?

what procedure to follow??

I have a dodge charger hemi and would love racing stripes put on and no that is NOT gay at all. I just dont want to have to go thru the trouble only to get into trouble from the cops

its a hobby

Why not use real pistons instead of forged ones ?

Yeah I would like more room in the rear... Champagne holder with refrigerator ... all seats that fold to form a bed... Shirt hanger etc...

yeah having stickers on the car is super g*y...

always look stock from far but be far from stock ;)

We were once Chase by the Police Car at 3am. reason? loud muffler huh! muffler is build-in from stock. asking us to pull over but the good thing its a sports car lol.. what else if you modify it? you'll be more in trouble.

That's right, smoke. They won't find out if you use forged pistons instead of cast iron.

I'd take engine mods over exterior mods any day. Its fun when a car looks stock but runs like hell :P plus you wont get into trouble with the cops.

Avoid major physical changes in appearance of the car.

I don't understand, why don't people drive their cars in the original state...

Waste of Money, and then when you go for renewal, Cops would make your Life Miserable....

You have different types of problems and what is a problem for someone else might not be a problem for you or vise versa

1- Cops

2- renewing registration

3- Warranty Loss

In terms of Colors ( renewing registration )

------------------

which is NOT car modification by any means to any car enthusiast, Anything is allowed except of Flat colors ( especially flat black and flat red ), Anything else is OK as long as you do not change more than half of the car and take it to renew registration..

Mechanical upgrades ( Renewing registration, Cops, Warranty Loss)

-------------------

You can do ANYTHING, but making yourself sound super loud is asking for trouble especially from locals who are cops.. Meaning, anyone that wears white that works for the police in some way. They can get your car impounded straight from the Villagio parking

Meaning instead of pulling out your resonator and Cats, just put a race Cat to be safe, which you will have to replace when doing your mechanical inspection test as well.

They have something against headers too. Especially when you want to pass the mechanical inspection.

This is problematic to renewing your registration, Cops, Warranty

Cold air intakes, you only lose your warranty, which is very odd.

----------------

Software Tune ups,As long as done on your original ECU, no one

-----------------

knows whats going on, even your Dealer at times of maintenance.

Any of the above statements is applicable for the average person, and things might change depending on your last name.
