Individual lowering inspection, what guidelines?
I know there are plenty of questions like this, but I really don't understand…
I've now installed a coilover suspension with a parts certificate, but this is no longer valid due to the different rims, wheel spacers, exhaust system, and body kit on the car. According to the parts certificate, these things must all be standard equipment.
So I have to do an individual inspection. But I don't want to have to run to the MOT multiple times, so I want to get everything right from the start!
The TÜV inspector looks at:
Ground clearance of fixed parts (in my case lowest point oil pan): at least 8cm
Ground clearance of form-elastic parts (in my case front bumper): at least 7cm
Distance between tire and wheel house or fender: at any point and in any steering position at least 6mm (?)
I know that he also twists the car at maximum steering angle.
Are the things I wrote there correct and do I need to consider anything else?
Should I even show the parts certificate to the inspector or does it not matter anyway since it has expired?

The entire reports are also absolutely necessary in case of individual acceptance. The distances are rough, where there is a lot of discretion.
You also have to bring the parts review of the rims, in which your car should be listed including the released tyre size. If this is not the case, it becomes difficult.
Just like your bodykit. Without knowing more precisely here, I can only generalize. For this, too, a partial evaluation must be present and no material evaluation must be carried out. If you only have the second one, you can tear the kit down right away, with nem material review, no one will take you in.
Let’s go. Where do you live? In the new Länder, only the DEKRA can reduce these changes and in the old only the TÜV.
Thanks for the answer! So it was true that there were no correct laws in things, but only TÜV directives?
The rims are longer incl. Tyres registered. Is that right? I would have to look for the parts review online as I bought the car with the rims. The same applies to the bodykit. Come from Bavaria.
Right. This is just a directive. Did the Bodykit Mal have been registered?
No problem. Your answer has helped me before. I’ll make calls on Monday at the GTÜ’s and TÜV’s etc. in a circle!
In addition:
I’ve read something about at least the height of the flasher and the headlight, but if it’s supposed to be 50cm, that’s hardly going to happen with the flasher with me as a series? 😀
Oh, okay. Then your question was a bit misunderstood.
All entered, except for the suspension now, I only installed it today. I can restrict myself, I hope that I can do the whole thing at home without several attempts at the TÜV.
It is better to show the TÜV as much annoying with the police and have to pay a penalty and above in you could not drive your car any more because they put it still.
That’s the point, but I don’t want the TÜV to send me back home. That’s why I want to know the exact guidelines I have to observe. Then put it at home on the lifting platform and hopefully come through the test first time!
