hey guys/mod sifu,
i plan to mod my upcoming new altis but not sure if those mods will void the warranty...any advice is welcomed too  biggrin.gif

below are the things i wan to do:
1. change front grill and fix bodykits (since front and rear got sensors will this void warranty?not sure if they need remove those sensors from original body and do some rewiring)
2. fix front strut, rear antiroll and torsion bars
3. change headlamp, fog lamp and cabin bulbs to led type
4. fix door scuff/sill plates (need do wiring)
5. change door handles to illuminated type (need do wiring)
6. change air/oil filter to performance type
7. fix fog lamp cover with built-in led drl (need do wiring)
8. fix rear bumper smoked led reflector with brake light (need do wiring)

thanks in advance

None of which you mention will void the warranty for the powertrain. If you car have separate warranties for things such as lights, suspensions, chassis etc, some of those might be void eg. Strut bars may void suspension warranty and so on.

lets say done all mods and send for normal service everytime due...but after 1 of the service visits got issues due to technician fault...will this consider void warranty as well?logically speaking they will point fingers 2 my mods and free themselves from any wrongdoings la...

If they want, they can say anything including blaming your mods. Think about it, they will even try to void your engine warranty if you don't use their lube.

Don't think so much, rule of thumb is, whatever part you mod, assume it will void the warranty for that part. Just boils down to whether you can live with that and your luck. If you wanna worry about warranty, don't mod.
