Losing the indicator holes

[Wayne]

If It's passed the MOT and it's been gone over by the Police, plus there is no problem with it, to be honest I'm not put off that there is an obscure regulation.

And the mod looks so clean and properly done it looks like it came out of the factory like it.

Obscure regulation  construction and use regs are far from that.

[Jimmy Filth]

The regs aren't obscure themselves, but that particular piece of legislation is.  Plus, as said before regulations and laws are two very different things.

A regulation itself wouldn't make it illegal.  For instance the checks in an MOT are not legal checks, but the MOT is.

If it breaches the regulations the only thing Police can do is offer a VDRS, which means the car has to be taken to an MOT station and stamped.  If the car has passed the MOT like it then you have nothing to worry about.

The only time the Police can do anything else is if the vehicle is is a dangerous condition.  If the indicator can be seen then this isn't the case.

the seperate indicators are much much safer than more modern single units imo, at night you can hardly see indicators if the headlights are on, yet with the indicators down on the ground they are much more visible.

i have been pulled by traffic police (you know, the ones driving the fast volvos and mondeo st's that we have to pay for lol) didnt bat an eyelid and its passed the mot thats good enough for me, if i had trouble with the position of the indies i would of said so from my first post.

maybe them regulations apply to a new car/kit car but new cars fitted with H.I.D's need auto leveing systems and washers as standard, but you can buy legal kits that dont encorperate leveling or washing systems, same probably applies for the indicators, different tolerences for new cars and modifications.

Aftermarket HID kits are illegal and will be soon tested as part of the mot.

not sure what part of the indicator your meant to measure to, or if its from the floor or not, but from the floor to the bottom of the indicator unit its well over 350mm and my cars lowered

Well ive just finished grafting a mk4 Golf numberplate recess into my mk3 bumper.Was a bit daunting at 1st as id not done any plastic welding before
As it happens i was going to buy a plastic welder for about £100 off ebay but a mate lent me this

I thought it would do for tacking up till i got a proper one and to be honest the gun was perfect!!Very time consuming but slightly theraputic!(sp)

My next job was going to be smoothing the indicator and fogs like you on the front.I was in 2 minds tbh and after looking at the above pics im definatley not going to do it.(no offence,my choice tis all)It looks a little too plain for me.

I havnt started filling it yet but i bought some proper plastic filler as when its sprayed i dont want no bloody cracking or i will cry
