in germany you can get type approval for aftermarket parts, can you do that in HK???
with the transport dept?
My bodykit is from MB AMG and wheels are from MB AMG, no issues with the warranty, only the
exhaust (with TUV type approval) can be detected, but should not be dangerous, as for the other bits, well only a chip, however i think i'd better delete it from my signature, thanks for reminding me.
what do you think about the add-on carbon aero bits, do you think that's illegal????

the part that you got from MB are legal because they are regestered and you also payed 60% tax on them.
I dont know if it is the same for MB
you should have waited 6 months and all the upgrades you did you would not have to pay 60% tax on them.

like I say any thing that is not on the MB spec sheet counts as not legal.

yeah i know abt the tax thing, but the mods don't have a date stamped on them, you can owe tax
but it's not a criminal offence.
i was thinking about illegally dangerous, but as the main recognisable mods are the exhausts
your Arqray is JASMA approved and mine TUV type approved so no worries there, its those
home made stuff which are illegal like RXX which exceed db and emission laws,
ha ha with your 16inch wheels you will be the last to be checked!!!!!!
but it's not a criminal offence.

seems to me v grey and tax is only a v small part in this topic. do u think the mods you urself put in are within the bmw spec and going along the above statement, these mean they would not be legal, then mostly ur insurance company wont pay out in the event of a claim. in reality though, the law has been quite flexible.

If you still felt that Capt16 white bulb not bright enough. You can try below LED plus resistor for each,
