norwegian car modification market

[antigram]

My name is reuben and i am a dutch international business student of avans in holland. for a school assignment i have to do research into the car modification scene in europe.

i have heared that you in norway import a lot from japan, because of the high prices in your country. besides this i know some norwegian companies, but not a lot.

so maybe you can tell me some cool modifications, good and bad companies and other things you think is important to know about the norwegian car scene like magazines, most modified cars (my focus is on japanese cars but i have seen on webshops that cars like saab and volvo are popular cars to modify as well overhere) and things like that

I'd definitely say that Germany is a more popular country to import from. If one were to import from Japan, the vehicle may not even meet the regulations (both European and Norwegian ones) in order to be conceived as road-legal.

 

This basically means that it's nearly impossible nowadays to register a JDM car (mostly because of its right-hand steering wheel placement) for road use and receive license plates in Norway. Germany however, has laws more similar to the Norwegian ones (although still laxer), which corresponds to import laws and in turn makes it easier to import and register for legal road use here in Norway.

 

Regarding your other questions some other users may fill me in.
