Sparky Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Oh well should get it sorted soon, its just picky little bits, dont think the MOT station likes modded cars Just means I got to cut my fenders to fit poxy side repeaters Not sure what the headlamp problem is, hope Keith hasnt sold me a dud light Really stressed out now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 you have the glanza indicators with the sticky out bit ?? which means you do not have to have extra repeaters on the wings :Sdo NOT cut them!S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yeah if your front indicators wrap around to the side like they do on Starlets you dont need side repeaters. Think they are being a little harsh to be honest mate.Hope you get it sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 What I was thinking guys, think they are being really picky to be honest and the last thing we want to do is cut the fenders as they may crack Will take it to the last place that I had it MOT'd at, passed it with the wheels SLIGHTLY rubbing on full lockCheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Some mot stations will just look at youre car, and if it hasnt got extra side repeaters then they will instantly fail it.because there cunts.The law is the law though, so seeing as you can see the indicators from the side it should pass...

David B Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hey Sparky,I just want to say that your starlet looks amazing.

Sparky Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hey mate thanks for the kind words I have a list as long as my arm for future mods but in some sort of order it would be:Recliners (possibly Evo 8 Recaros very soon )C pillar barDecat pipeNew Wheels for the summerSkirtsRear bumperAdjustable Panhard rod so I can lower the back more Clean up engine bayand the list goes on ;)Plans sound good mate Hopefully you have taken some inspiration from my thread As for posting pics upload them from your PC to photobucket.com, then when the pics has uploaded copy the very bottom URL link which is underneath the picture, (should have tags at each end)and then just paste them straight into the box where you type :0Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
