The badge on the back of your car (which usually indicates the model, engine type, etc.) can be a symbol of status and pride for some drivers. But most often, such emblems annoy many drivers, as they look like an eyesore. Agree it is much better when the back of the car does not have different ones. Fortunately, there is a fairly easy way to remove them without damaging the car body. Each of you, using simple tools, will be able to remove the emblem from the body yourself.
This way to remove the emblem from the body is suitable even for those who have practically no tools, knowledge and experience. It is worth noting that there are many ways on the web in which people offer car logos and emblems. Unfortunately, most of them involve heating the emblem in order to peel it off. But these are dangerous methods, because overheating can damage the paintwork of the body. The fact is that when you heat the emblem with a hairdryer, you can heat up the body area too much. In this case, the body paint next to (or under) the emblem may begin to crack and peel.
Here's what you need to remove the emblem from the body:
- - Thermos or container with hot (not boiling) water
- - Adhesive remover
- - Flat screwdriver or plastic wedge
- - Bank card (or an unnecessary plastic business card, mobile communication payment card)
- - Dental floss/nylon guitar string or fishing line
- - Terry towel or rag
Step 1: Find out how your emblem is attached
Remember that depending on the make and model of the car, as well as the year of manufacture, they are attached to the body in different ways. In most cases on modern cars Emblems are attached with double sided tape. On old and some new cars, there are emblems that are attached to the body with special rivets that are inserted into the drilled holes. In order to find out how the logo, etc., is attached to the rear of the car, use Internet search engines and search on thematic forums dedicated to your car model. This is very important to do, because it depends on how you have to remove the emblem from the body.
Step 2: Heat up the glue
Using a thermos or any container of hot water (not boiling water), you need to pour it over the emblem in order to heat up the adhesive base. This will soften the adhesive and allow it to quickly peel off the body. Also, heating the adhesive base of the emblem will not allow the emblem to break during the removal process.
Step 3 (Method 1): Pry off the emblem with a screwdriver
Using a small screwdriver or plastic wedge, pry off the edge of the emblem from the top corner, placing a terry towel or rag under the screwdriver to protect the body paint. So you are not the body of the car. Next, move the screwdriver lower, pushing the towel. If the adhesive is too strong, use more hot water to loosen the adhesive backing.
Step 3 (Method 2): Use dental floss to peel off the emblem from the body
Instead of a screwdriver, perhaps use dental floss, nylon guitar string, or fishing line. The truth is less convenient way because dental floss can often break. You can, of course, use an abrasive metal thread, but it can damage if everything is not done carefully.
Step 3 (Method 3): Remove the emblem with a plastic card
After softening the logo glue with hot water, you can use any thick plastic card instead of a screwdriver. For example, you can use an expired bank card, an invalid discount card, or an unwanted plastic business card. Start removing the emblem from the right side of the side. Your task is to first pry off the emblem with a plastic card on each side. Next, deepen the card under the emblem on each side even deeper.
Step 4: Remove adhesive residue
Now we come to the most laborious step. The older your car, the stronger the adhesive will adhere to the car body. This is due to the chemical nature of the adhesive bases, which become stiffer over time. To remove old adhesive from a car body, you will need a special chemical adhesive remover, which is available at an auto shop or home improvement store.
It is desirable that the container of the special equipment be equipped with a spray-sprayer. Apply the product to the surface of the adhesive and allow the liquid to soak into the adhesive base for a few minutes. Then scrape off the adhesive layers with a plastic card or with a plastic wedge. In no case do not use a metal screwdriver to remove the adhesive, as this is how you.
Thus, you must remove layer by layer until you completely remove k.
After removing the adhesive, use a body polish to bring back the shine. paintwork, which was under the glue.
That's basically it! This is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to remove the emblem from the car body. With this method, you can clean your trunk, fenders and other parts of the body from unnecessary emblems, stickers and logos. Thanks to this, your body will be completely clean and free from unnecessary inscriptions and other unnecessary emblems.
Good luck!
Often on the streets of cities you can see budget models, decorated with nameplates of premium (and not so) classes. The most common example is tractors with a three-pointed Mercedes star on the grille. We asked representatives of the State traffic inspectorate whether such decoration is considered a violation and whether the owners of such cars can pass a technical inspection. According to the inspectors, there are no complaints against them.
A couple of years ago, the Chinese police Mercedes ML in Honda CR-V in order to issue expensive car for more affordable. In our latitudes, the reverse process is observed. And although for most people the deception is obvious, car owners continue to outweigh the nameplates. One can only guess about the motivation of compatriots.
“Replacing the logo can mislead eyewitnesses, say, of an incident,- voiced the assumption on our forum. - For example, such a car committed a violation and left. A witness who does not understand brands, but who remembers the image on the nameplate, will report to the police about a car brand that is not related to what happened. That is, he will claim that he saw an Audi, based only on the four rings seen.
“In paragraph 194 of the SDA there is a ban on the participation in road traffic of cars whose design does not meet the requirements of regulations, as well as re-equipped without the consent of the traffic police,- commented Onliner.by in the State traffic inspectorate. - However, nameplate replacement does not fit these definitions. The employees of the vehicle registration department also speak about this. That is, the replacement of the logo is not considered a violation, since it is not constructive technical change. Such a car should pass inspection without any problems. Another thing is if the owner manages to attach, say, a bumper or fender from another model. Such transformation is prohibited by law.
Good afternoon, dear reader.
Almost every car owner eventually spends some kind of refinement and improvement of his "iron horse".
For some, the changes are very minor, for example, replacing nipple caps with colored ones. Other motorists approach improvements more thoroughly and make changes to the engine, suspension, car body. All of the above changes relate to tuning (finishing) vehicle.
This article will discuss what penalties await the owner of a car for illegal tuning.
Varieties of car tuning
First of all, we highlight the common types of tuning, which are widespread in Russia:
- or in headlights.
All these changes are massive, so each of them is considered in a separate article. Today we will not dwell on them in detail.
As for other types of tuning, they can be divided into the following groups:
- Improvement appearance car. This group includes, for example, the installation of non-standard bumpers and spoilers on cars.
- Improvement specifications cars. In this case, we are talking about making changes to the car engine, its suspension or other structural elements.
- Improvement of the car's patency. Preparing the car for off-road trips includes installing additional equipment, such as a winch or snorkel, as well as finalizing the design of the car itself.
In general, making changes to the design affects a fairly large group of car owners.
Fine for car tuning in 2019
Penalties for changing the design of the vehicle are provided for:
1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and Responsibilities officials security traffic operation of the vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 - 7 of this article, -
entails a warning or imposition administrative fine at the rate of five hundred rubles.
So the driver will be fined 500 rubles for most of the changes made to the design.
There are a few exceptions that carry more severe penalties:
- Installation of headlights with red lights on the front of the car - deprivation of rights from 4 to 6 months (part 3 of article 12.5);
- Installation of special light (flashing lights) or sound signals- deprivation of rights from 12 to 18 months (part 4 of article 12.5);
- Installation of the sign "Disabled" - a fine of 5,000 rubles (part 4 1 of article 12.5);
- Installation of color schemes for operational services - deprivation of rights from 12 to 18 months (part 6 of article 12.5);
- Installing a color scheme for a passenger taxi - a fine of 5,000 rubles.
All of the above design changes are illegal and this does not raise questions from drivers. We, within the framework of this article, are interested in those changes that do not fall into the specified list. It is required to understand in which case a fine of 500 rubles can be imposed, and in which it cannot.
And for this you need to figure out what types of tuning relate to design changes.
Note. If a change in the design of the vehicle is detected, the traffic police may cancel the registration of the car:
What about vehicle design changes?
Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses refers to. The full text of this document is not required, you just need to study its appendix:
In this document, the final paragraph 7.18 refers to tuning:
7.18. Changes have been made to the design of the vehicle without the permission of the State Inspectorate for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Russian Federation or other bodies determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.
After reading this paragraph the question arises what exactly refers to changes in the design of the vehicle, for which you can get a fine of 500 rubles.
The concept of "making changes to the design of a vehicle" is given in the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union "":
making changes to the design of the vehicle - the exclusion of those provided or the installation is not provided by the design specific vehicle components and items of equipment made after the release of the vehicle into circulation and affecting road safety;
This definition does not give an unambiguous answer to the question of what exactly refers to constituent parts and equipment affecting safety:
"vehicle safety" - a state characterized by a combination of design parameters and technical condition vehicle, ensuring the inadmissibility or minimization of the risk of harm to the life or health of citizens, property of individuals and legal entities, state or municipal property, the environment;
However, in technical regulations there is Appendix No. 9, which, among other things, contains a list of individual (not all) design changes:
- Replacing the body type of a truck.
- Installation of additional fuel tanks.
- Installation of lifts and winches on trucks.
- Installation of special equipment.
- Installation and dismantling of HBO.
- Replacement of external lighting devices (including the installation of xenon or diode lamps).
- Re-equipment of a car for persons with disabilities.
All of the above points are guaranteed to apply to changes in the design of the vehicle. If you perform them without permission, you can get a fine of 500 rubles.
With regard to the installation of other equipment, it remains unclear in which cases it should be attributed to changes in the design of the vehicle.
For example, installing custom bumpers made from a different material (metal instead of plastic). Obviously, this tuning option affects the safety of the car in the event.
Another example. Installing the DVR windshield car. On the one hand, the installation is elementary and should not affect security. On the other hand, if the airbags are deployed, they can "pull" the recorder's power wire, tear it off the glass and send it "flying" around the cabin.
If on optional equipment that you have installed is Required documents(manufacturer, manufacturer), then it is not required to additionally enter information about him in the registration documents.
Good luck on the roads!

Installed the body of the same type, awning,
but the tent van is longer than the frame by<1метра, это нарушение, к чему могут привлечь. (стопы и номер остались на раме) спасибо.
I replaced the steering wheel of a smaller diameter with a Lada viburnum with EUR, the employee said that I made changes to the design of the car, is he right? Penalty not issued
Sergey if you do not have documents for a new steering wheel confirming that it is intended for your car, then the traffic police officer could impose a fine.
Subsequently, you can try to challenge the fine, but I cannot guarantee a successful result, because. So far, none of the readers have reported such an experience.
Good luck on the roads!
Good afternoon! On a UAZ car with the specifics of its work (driving on severe off-road), I put wheels of a larger diameter with other rims (with a departure) than a meeting with an employee will turn out for me
Hello! Guys, please tell me who knows, I have a mark in the TCP and STS that additional ones are installed. pedals, a "U" sign and an additional mirror, in fact there is nothing (earlier a car from a driving school). What threatens me for this? And how to officially remove the data from the docks? I will be very grateful for the answer (advice)!
Hello.
In this case, it turns out that the actual design of the vehicle does not correspond to what is indicated in its documents. Those. a fine for changing the design (500 rubles) is possible.
The exclusion of information about changes from the car documents is exactly the same procedure as the usual introduction of changes. That is, you need to obtain permission, and then contact the traffic police to make changes to the registration documents.
In any case, I recommend that you call the local traffic police and clarify whether it is necessary to undergo additional technical examinations and obtain permits when returning the car to the factory state. Please report your results here.
Good luck on the roads!

I put the winch inside the body of the gazelle, they wanted to fine it. Can they or not?
Sergey, in practice, traffic police officers can impose a fine. However, if you do not agree with it, then you can challenge it in court.
From your description it is not clear whether the design was changed when the winch was installed. If you just loaded the winch into the body, then this is not a design change. But if you drilled additional holes in the body / frame and fixed the winch through them, then this is a design change.
Good luck on the roads!
Sergey-792

In fact, the doors remained factory, only the hinges were replaced.
State registration plates (GRZ) - the main identifier of the car and its owner. Operating a car without license plates or with license plates of inadequate quality is punishable by a fine or deprivation of a driver's license.
If the numbers are lost, stolen, or become unusable, they must be restored or replaced. Today, this procedure in the State traffic inspectorate is extremely simplified and takes no more than 2 hours.
When is it necessary to change numbers?
State registration plates (GRZ) of the vehicle must comply with the State Standard of the Russian Federation GOST R 50577-93 and be clearly readable from at least 20 meters.
As a result of an accident, under the influence of the external environment and due to improper operation, they may become unusable. Non-conformities to be eliminated are:
- mechanical damage, rust, paint peeling, etc.;
- installation in the wrong places. According to the rules, the GRZ must be installed strictly along the central axis of the vehicle (VH), front and rear.
Also, the replacement procedure, i.e. numbers are issued with a new combination of letters and numbers, required when:
- theft;
- lost.
In these cases, in order to prevent further illegal manipulations with lost numbers, contacting the traffic police is mandatory. Otherwise, the numbers themselves can be installed by attackers on stolen cars, and fines for their violation will come to the former owner.
Restoration of numbers (duplicate)
If the GRZ have become unusable, lost or stolen, they can be restored by ordering a duplicate (the same combination of letters and numbers that was) in companies specially accredited for these works (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated August 7, 2013 No. 605 “On approval of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Affairs of the Russian Federation for the provision of public services for the registration of motor vehicles and trailers for them).
Then you do not need to re-register the vehicle. When ordering, it is enough for the owner to present a certificate of registration of the vehicle. Without providing a broken number. The cost of making duplicates can be set at the discretion of the manufacturer. But usually it is equal to the cost of replacing numbers in the traffic police - 2850 rubles.
The amount of the state fee for extradition, including in exchange for lost or worn out:
- GRZ - 2000 rubles (for a motorcycle and a trailer - 1000 rubles);
- PTS - 800 rubles;
- Certificate of vehicle registration - 500 rubles;
- For making changes to a previously issued vehicle passport - 350 rubles;
- GRZ of vehicles "Transit"
on a metal base, for cars - 1600 rubles;
on a metal base, for motorcycles and trailers - 800 rubles;
on a paper basis - 200 rubles.
Thus, the state duty for registration (with a change or issue of a number) will be:
- for a car - 2850 rubles;
- for a motorcycle, trailer -1850 rubles.
The state duty for re-registration of a vehicle with the preservation of the license from the previous owner will cost 850 rubles.
Punishment for driving with fake license plates
In accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation of December 30, 2001 N 195-FZ, driving with fake numbers is punishable by deprivation of a driver's license for a period of 6 months to 1 year.
- compulsory work up to 360 hours (for an organized group of persons - up to 480 hours);
- correctional labor up to 1 year (for an organized group up to 2 years);
- restriction or imprisonment or forced labor for up to 2 years (for an organized group - up to 3 years).
Interesting and important decisions for many owners of old cars were made by the Supreme Court.
He found that if the car owner changed the body or chassis, but did not re-register the car, this does not mean that he was driving a car with false numbers.
The fact is that recently the following practice has become fashionable among traffic cops and judges. For example, the driver changed the body of his car, but he did not re-register the car and continues to drive it. The traffic police inspector stops him, checks the numbers, and the vehicle identification number does not match the one indicated in the registration certificate. Everything, drove a car with obviously false registration plates. And for this, part 4 of article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for deprivation of rights for a period of six months to a year. And no evidence that the driver really changed the body and drives with documents for him is no longer valid. For several years now, traffic police inspectors have not checked the engine number, and, accordingly, it is not included in the registration documents.
There is only one way to identify the car - its identification number. Namely, it is applied on the body, which was changed. And, accordingly, does not match the one specified in the documents.
And it turns out that a person drives a completely different car, and not the one that is registered with the traffic police with the appropriate registration plates.
But this is, shall we say, a formal approach. After all, the car owner received the numbers on completely legal grounds, and then he did not change the car, but changed just one detail. Yes, expensive, large and licensed, but the same spare part as the exhaust pipe.
Unfortunately, outright scammers also use the opportunity to change the body as a banal spare part. For example, it was thanks to this opportunity that the country was flooded with so-called "constructors". To avoid high customs duties, some citizens import into Russia not a car, but its parts. Then they buy somewhere an old car of the same brand. All they need from him is documents. Under these documents, a car is assembled from imported spare parts.
There are more egregious cases. For example, some transport companies, having purchased 10 cars of the same make and color, register only three of them. And then, if necessary, outweigh the numbers from one to another. Now this is exactly driving a car with fake numbers. But according to formal signs, there is no difference between such figures and those who honestly bought the body. Moreover, the fault of the latter is that they did not make changes to the registration data in time. And this is a completely different article of the Code of Administrative Offenses - 12.1. It provides only a fine of 500 to 800 rubles.
And at least two victims of unfair deprivation of rights managed to get to the Supreme Court. One of them is a certain Saghatelyan A.A. - drove a car with a replaced body in Kaliningrad. The second is a certain Agoshko A.A. - I was driving along the Ussuri highway in Primorsky Krai in a car whose chassis was replaced. In both cases, traffic police inspectors charged them with driving a vehicle with deliberately false numbers. Justices of the peace supported this version and sentenced him to deprivation of rights for 6 months. The appeals did not bring any results. The district and regional courts affirmed the earlier decision. However, the Supreme Court held otherwise. In his resolutions, he pointed out that "false state registration plates should be understood as signs not made at the manufacturer in the manner prescribed by law, or state registration plates with any changes that distort the symbols applied to them by the manufacturer, as well as state registration plates issued during the state registration of another vehicle.
The applicant Saghatelyan submitted to the court a contract for the sale of a body and a certificate of conformity of the vehicle design to safety requirements issued by the traffic police of the Kaliningrad region. Under such circumstances, the Supreme Court considered that there were no grounds to assert that the numbers were fake, and ruled that the decisions of the lower courts should be canceled and the administrative case dismissed.
Agoshko submitted a contract for the sale of numbered units, an order for replacement work, and an additional sheet to the declaration for goods confirming the legality of the import of these spare parts. However, he did not provide evidence of the conformity of the vehicle design to safety requirements. The Supreme Court also found no reason to consider the numbers forged. But, in his opinion, the requirement for admission to the operation of the vehicle was violated. Responsibility for this is provided for by Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - a fine of 500 rubles.
It is clear that now all the courts will make their decisions with an eye on these rulings. But what about those who take advantage of the gaps in the legislation, about whom we wrote above? The traffic police believe that Article 12.5 can be applied. But the car owner has a period of 10 days to register a newly purchased car or make changes to the registration data. And if the period has expired, then Part 1 of Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses should apply - driving a vehicle that is not duly registered.
Indeed, when replacing licensed parts, it is necessary to make changes to the registration data, simply because they appear in the documents. It would seem that the article is harmless, just a fine, but for a repeated violation, part 1.1 of this article will already be threatened - a fine of 5 thousand rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of 1 to 3 months.
Dossier "RG"
In total, according to the results of 2013, according to the traffic police, more than 53 million vehicles were registered in Russia. Of these, almost 23 and a half million are foreign cars. A little more than 3,606,000 new cars have been registered since the production of which has not even been a year. More than 6.5 million cars older than 3 years. Three to five years - 4.9 million.
One of the most massive segments is cars from five to ten years old. There are almost 12 million of them. Cars aged 10 to 15 years are not so numerous. Their number barely reached 8 million. And finally, the largest segment - cars older than 15 years. More than 18 million of them travel around our country.
It is not necessary to change the car body due to high age. Moreover, foreign manufacturers give a guarantee for through corrosion of the body for 10 years. But in most cases, the bodies are changed not because of through corrosion, but as a result of an accident, when its restoration is impossible or comparable in price to buying a new car. Another thing is that then you need to re-register the car. After all, the numbered part was replaced. And before that, it is necessary to obtain a certificate from the traffic police about the compliance of the vehicle design with road safety requirements. After all, in fact, the assembly plants of foreign cars in Russia are doing the same thing that they will be doing at the service: wheels, an engine and other equipment are hung on the finished body.
