There is no specific regulation, other than selling incomplete products as completed products.

For example, its perfectly legal to advertise a car as saying its a car without engine. You just cannot advertise it in such a way that the viewer thinks he can buy the car and just enjoy it.

How's this any different than the situation with PC parts? You have CPU and GPU manufacturers advertising their products with images of games being played, yet you need to buy half a dozen other parts before you can start gaming.
Its other way round, you can sell CPU / steering only, but you can't say you are selling a PC/Car without it.
