The whole VI process annoys me though, as there is no recourse for citizens who are given one unfairly.
As it stands, VPD could pull over your Beetle, cite you for "allegedly non-OEM parts", and force you to go to a Volkswagen dealer for the VI. Like, what the hell are they going to do with a vehicle that was made when the possibly most experienced tech that will do it was 10 or 11 years old at the time?

VPD's vision of a "safe" vehicle is completely unmodified. Technically correct, but what does that mean for people with aftermarket winter/summer wheels, restored vehicles, or vehicles with replacement parts after an accident?
