Tuning in general
This introduction is for people who know a little or nothing about car tuning. In general terms, tuning means making changes or modifications to the engine. Furthermore, the driving characteristics and the body are also included. For all this, there are companies that offer professional vehicle tuning. But vehicle owners also take tuning into their own hands in many ways. Whether in a workshop or in the private sector, those carrying out the work are called vehicle tuners or tuners.
"Tuning" is a derivative of the English "to do" and stands for tuning or it can also be described as bringing into line. In the literal sense, the meaning is fine-tuning. It generally means to fine-tune or tune a vehicle.

Something about the history or beginning of tuning
.
The origin of tuning is said to have been in the 1950s. The VW Beetle was a widely used and at the same time popular car in this bygone era. These cars became popular tuning objects. Companies tinkered with adjustments to increase the performance of the engines. This was the birth of the car tuners. The first spoiler was produced for the VW Beetle in 1953. At that time it was called the "Tiefensteuer". The name was certainly derived from the fact that this "Tiefensteuer" was intended to generate more downforce on the front axle at speeds of over 100 km/h
In these early days of vehicle tuning, the focus was initially on parts for performance enhancement. But with more power, the higher demands on the brake system and much more had to be taken care of.
Vehicle tuning became more and more popular in the 70s of the last century. The founding of many tuning companies followed. There were many variants of limousines, coupés, sports cars and even curiosities.
Some tips and in tuning
One of the tips and tricks for tuning your own car is that you can do it yourself. In terms of cost, doing it yourself is often the cheapest alternative. On the other hand, you can also hand over the tuning to the experts. In Germany, there are many companies that specialise in this field. Handing over to an expert in this field, you must be aware, is certainly associated with much higher costs than doing it yourself. The higher costs are therefore the reason for the vast majority of people to do it themselves. If you do not have any experience in this area, that is not a problem either. You can use the tips of others and gain their experience. Remember, everyone started small once and now gradually applies the knowledge passed on to the tuning object. The advantage of being a member of the tuning scene is that in this one everyone helps one another and a collective benefit is derived.
Even if you don't join such a scene, you can also tackle your project yourself with a little craftsmanship. But in doing so, it is indispensable that you observe a few basic rules. First and foremost, this concerns safety and the rules of the road traffic regulations, and this applies to any adaptation. This is a basic requirement that must be adhered to 100% when tuning, no matter what your desire. If you are uncertain about this and do not know what is allowed and what is not, you must inform yourself extensively in advance. If you do something unauthorised on the vehicle in this respect, this can be a reason for the road permit for the vehicle to lapse, and you should not risk that.
Tuning is for many a hobby that gives every hobbyist a lot of pleasure and fun. A hobby in the execution of which the upgrading of one's own car can be achieved. In industrialised countries such as Germany and America, a tuning scene has developed from this over time. The negative image it is said to have is unjustified. In the tuning scene the community is promoted, here everyone helps everyone else. If you want to improve your car a little, get information about clubs where you live or in the vicinity. This will certainly bring you one step closer to your goal.

Car tuning: What is allowed and what is not?
When it comes to car tuning, you can basically assume that all parts on the car can be changed. The start is very often with the design or the colour. Then the engine, the exhaust and the lights can follow. Tyres and rims are always visually eye-catching and are excellent for doing yourself. The same is true for the interior and also for the windows.
There is one thing you must pay particular attention to, because this can also save you a lot of trouble and money. All changes brought about by car tuning must be entered in the papers and also reported to the insurance company. In this way, you are on the safe side if, in the event of an inspection, you can show that everything is correct on the basis of the vehicle documents. The information to the insurance company is necessary to prevent complications in the event of a claim and to ensure that the claim is settled accordingly. The reason with the insurance companies is simple. Car tuning has changed the value of the vehicle, which is then also reflected in the premiums. Please do not take this issue lightly.
