Checking on Police forums it says that Fog lights MUST be yellow or white.no vehicle to show red light other than a to rear. Den will probably confirm

No red light at front of vehicle at all i thought dude to being used for rear side and brake lights

[ZACK]

Zack what size did you get ???

I Got The Black In The 45 x 75 And It Was The Perfect Size Mate, You Couldn't Get A Smaller One Because It Wouldnt Go Around The Light...

It Just Needs A Final Coat Of Epoxy Hardener To Set The Carbon Off Now - After It's All Set It'll Be Polished To make It All Shiny =D

Red tint on the front has got to be illegal. Scenario foggy day and vis down to 20m so put fog lights on. Car approaching from opposite direction sees the lights and thinks they have gone in the wrong lane and pulls over. Result, head on collision at 30+ mph. You may think that coz you have headlights on you will be ok. But if someone is trying to see in the fog then the red lights will be the thing they react to.

There's new regulations coming in next year and MOT centres will also now check on the following:

1. 13 pin towbar electrics to be tested (7 pin exempt).
2. Leak detector for LPG's.
3. All doors must open/close (before it was just the front).
4. Door hinges/catches and pillars are tested for corrosion.
5. Inappropriate brake mod's.
6. "missing" cats and DPF's.
7. Any dash warning light, airbag, PAS light, TPMS, brake pad light, any light really (before it was just ABS light).
8. PAS level, steel pipes for corrosion/security.
9. Any "product" that reduces light output (tights, paint, tint, etc.).
10. Battery security and wiring.
11. Inner CV boots/TRE boots/ball joint boots for splitting.
12. Inappropriate suspension mod's.
13. Steering lock must work when ignition key removed.
14. Drivers seat must be able to adjust and lock in place.

Highlighted the ones most likely to catch people out on here (not specifically you Zack!)

That bonnet looks good though mate, can't wait to see the finished pics!

Lucky we dont need to get MOTs for a few years and what's classed as inappropriate suspension?

But most people will get the exhausts changed for an Mot anyway.

[Stef]

Well, it might be the case that the rules only apply to cars manufactured from the date it gets inforced, that's what they normally do.

Apart from some brighter bulbs, possibly an induction kit in the future I'm happy with mine as it is, it attracts enough attention already!

Bleeding nora. They appear to be going after the mods most commonly undertaken. This will upset the mods industry!

Ah It's All Good =)
