Driving a foreign-registered car in Tbilisi: window tinting rules, customs paperwork, and where to find spare parts

For spare parts and used-parts yards in Tbilisi, the common recommendation is the Lilo market area (Lilo Mall/Lilo bazroba), which has many shops selling used auto parts and disassembled cars for various brands.

For temporary car import at the border, the declaration should mark that the vehicle has a registration certificate (tekhpasport), and the second field should list the car's plate number written in Latin letters — this is how the form is filled when the car has no Georgian registration.

Regarding cars with plates lacking the EU-style flag and tinted front side windows — this is a common concern for newcomers, since it's unclear how Georgian traffic police react to it during routine checks.
