(c) Vertical

(i)Maximum height above the ground–.
(A)Any vehicle not covered by sub-paragraph (B) or (C): 1500 mm or, if the structure of the vehicle makes this impracticable, 2300 mm.
(B)A motor vehicle first used before 1st April 1986 and a trailer manufactured before 1st October 1985: No requirement

does that maximum height mean the maximum distance between the pavement and indicator then?

Mk4 style headlights with built in indicators would solve the indicator issue. You can get them from Venom and other online stores, or hunt the classifieds for a set. The smoothing looks like a great job Did you cut out sections from a rear bumper and plastic weld them in?

cheers dude, was at a cruise and was talking to a proper panel beater and was lookign around his "show car" a few people had said my work was better than his haha

yep, when i upgraded to gti bumpers it was lucky i kept the old textured black ones, yeah i did cut out the pieces off my old one, just there are a few tiny wobbles in the swage lines where everything meets but it is pretty straight i just need a vento front now, everything else is square and horizontal

Not a fan to be honest, might look better without the textured strip though

No road to indicator.

+1 smooth and all one colour would be better.

yeah thats what i menat, cheers dude i know your only tryna keep me out of bother but as ive said the feds didnt notice the other night, and i havent had any bother with people not seeing them i realise its my own risk and im fine with it, id probably have to come across the strictest copper in britain for anyone to notice anything lol and when i give the car a good clean and polish up the black bits the red/black contrast looks amazing and i wish everyone would stop trying to totally smooth mk3's and make em look like mk4's just buy a 4th gen haha

Don't get me wrong, I understand the wanting to be different thing and i'm not slating it at all. If your happy with it that's the main thing

Personally it looks a bit like a half job, but then i'm running standard bumpers so i'm not really in a position to criticise
