Welcome! That color is definitely an attention magnet.

How fast have you driven this on the Autobahn?

We need certificates for the parts that are not OEM, at least we need a material certification which confirms the quality. After we have the certificate for the material we need a certificate that the part was installed in a proper way, after we have the
Materialgutachten + Teilegutachten we have to go to the TÜV station which is something like a technical department, with all the certificates I have to pay about 100$ And more depending on the parts(for every part!) to get a confirmation on the registration that it was tested and confirmed.
The price for the TÜV certification for the wheels was about 330$.
In case there is no certification for the material from the producer/tuner you can buy a second set of the parts and pay the material testing by yourself, but this will cost you about 1000$ without a guarantee that you pass the test.
Even if you change parts like the pedals you can get problems, same if you take seatbelts in an other color..
For all the lights u need a stamp that confirms that the brightness was tested, it's called E Prüfzeichen, even the bulbs you use need this stamp.. again.. if the producer didn't payed the tests you can't use the parts
before you pay the tests. (About 1.200-2.500$)

Also you need a tested wrap when you tint you windows, wrapping the tail lights is not allowed.

When you have parts which change the aerodynamic you need to test the airflow... costs about 10.000-15.000$... so no wings and stuff like this.
Same for front splitters because you could hurt pedestrians.

Exhausts can be 2-3dB louder than stock, everything else is illegal. Exhausts with valves are normally only allowed when you can't open them manual.

Engine swap is nearly impossible, certifications will cost you about 15.000€ and more, and you have to pass a strict smogtest.

And even when you payed all the certificates and the technical department a cop can pull over to stop you, if he has doubts regarding the testing he will just bring your car to the next TÜV station with a towtruck to check everything again..

This is just a small explanation of our laws, it's even much more complicated to be honest..
^^^^ Damn, talking about regulations!

Welcome.
