We can have cone filters but EU spec germans cannot not. We also don't go through TUV because the base has own inspection.
I wish that were the case in Belgium. US spec cars ARE subjected to Belgian CT inspections, but only after they are 4 years old. Rear fogs are required here.... which is why it's so easy to spot an American here.... they all have those silly aftermarket foglights hanging off the bottom of the rear bumper.
