mot question
 

Is it ok for me to smooth away my wing indicators? My car is a b reg 1984 and i had a b plate opel manta that didnt have them once and that was ok for its mot.can i get away with smoothing them away as my car is older than certain laws? any ideas?

so in light im guessing you should be ok without them, even thou the car was made with them, they only have to work if they are there, if they are not there, then the year of the car says they dont have to be there. you should pass fine without them, and if they question it, ask them to look it up.

That is good enough for me. Its ages until my mot anyway. :) Thanks. I suspected my s12 was before the rule was passed but wasnt sure on the date.

you could try phoning an MOT place to just check, just say you car has had a set of pattern panel wings put on that didnt have the hole for repeaters, your car is 1984 so due to MOT rules this will not have an affect on my car if i dont fit them??

that should do it, you shouldnt have to tell them what car it is or any details except the year. tis a lot of work to go through only to find they have a loop hole.

Whats an MOT?:confused:
