This is the same in Germany. What you do with your car in your garage is 
your business, but then you mustn't drive (or even park) on public roads. 
Apart from that, you are free to tamper with your car in your own garage. 

(There are some exceptions. You must not damage the environment, by, e.g., 
intentionally burning down your own car intentionally)
