If you install a tow bar (bola de remolque) on your car in Spain, what is the mandatory next step to ensure the modification is completely legal?
A)You need to book an in-person appointment directly at a DGT office to get a new Permiso de Circulación issued.
B)No formal inspection is needed as long as the tow bar has an EU homologation stamp and you inform your insurance provider.
C)You must book an appointment at an ITV station within 15 days to inspect the modification and update the vehicle's Ficha Técnica.Correct
Installing a tow bar is considered a major modification (Reforma de Importancia). It must be inspected by an official ITV station using the workshop certificate (Certificado de Taller) to legally update your vehicle's technical data sheet. Once approved by the ITV, the central DGT database is updated automatically, so there is no need to visit a DGT office.
