Question

If I change the color of my car, is it legal? What do I have to do ? LEGISLATION IN UK.... MANY THANKS!?

Answer 1

All you have to do in the U.K. is report the change to DVLA so that the database can be amended.

Look on your V5C registration certificate.  There is a section there for any changes to the vehicle you make -- different color, replacement engine of different size, etc.    You just fill in the new details and send the appropriate section back to DVLA in Swansea.  They'll make the changes and issue you with a new V5C.

Answer 2

You have to send in the log book to the appropriate authority with the colour change, and they will send You back an updated log book. That's all there is to it.

Answer 3

Why wouldn't it be legal....?
