Nanglebadger Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Seasons greetings one and all starlight club memebers i hope your all well!!!Dunno if anyone spotted these but there were some TRD vinyl sunstrips for sale on ebay, my bro found them and ordered one for me because i think they ended today.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-TRD-windscree...1QQcmdZViewItemAnywhoo, does anyone happen to know wot the MOT require ments of sunstrips are?? also bearin in mind MOT is MUCH more strict over here?? i.e. will i get away with it or wot are the regulations regardin sunstrips??P.s. the one i bought specified starlet in the description, bet ya it dont fit Thanks all, Phil.

gaz Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 i think they need to be small enough so the windscreen wipers are like an inch distance away when erect to pass mot i think. lol. im changing mine anyway but mine only cost a fiver so it dont matter about taking it off. Quote
lobotomy Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 And you get a keyring and two trd racing stickers.... oooooooooooohhhhhhh Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 i notice that too lobo, big whoop like @Gaz, if thats the case then im screwed because i think the wipers come pretty much right up to the top of the windscreen Its too nice to rip off and bin just for MOT!!! Phil. Quote
Robbo Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 it just doens't have to get in your main view, so you can have it right down to window wipers.one trick some people do is fit smaller wipers so they can have a larger sunstrip Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 hhmmmmm very schneaky there robbo, i like that idea!!!Phil. Quote
minuszero Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 an inch distance away when erect to pass mot i think quote!!could you not just get smaller wiper blads then and have a huge sunstrip?? Quote
gaz Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 its only what i heard, mines a failure too if so lol. mines about 5inches down lol Quote
DAN_GTT Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 If the sunstrip is within the windscreen wiper sweap its a mot failure. So you could get tiny windscreen wipers for the mot Quote
starletboy Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 yeah if the wipers touch the strip its a failure luckily mine is tinted window film so is ee through so still passes mot Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 Right ok cheers chaps! @Starletboy, i thought that u could tint the front 3 windows AT ALL or it would fail MOT, i know its stricter over here tho.Phil. Quote
DAN_GTT Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 no he means a sunstrip thats got a tint so you can still see through it, some cars come from factory like it, usually blue Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 AAAhhhhhhhhh i see, most unfair to those of us without one!!!! Damn i hate MOT!!! i mean wheres the harm in a sunstrip?? it keeps the sun out of your eyes meanin your less likely to have your vision obscured and end up in an accident!!!!! Borin MOT clowns!!!Phil. Quote
gaz Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 yeah thats the thing. mine actually works and does that... surely thats a good thing. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 EXACTLY Gaz mate!!!! I just dont understand the big deal about it!!!! They're too expensive to rip off every 12months, esp as they wont go back on again!Phil. Quote
