Try using an LED cluster bulb for the rear fogs otherwise it might fail an MOT! :)

If they are tinted it is likely the rear reflectors won't reflect either so it may be worthwhile keeping the originals for MOT purposes:)

Could always put on two discreet reflector strips and keep the tinted lights on all year?

Best to be legal all of the time, last thing you want is to be pulled with a baby on board! :music:

That was what i was thinking of!? Does anyone know if it'll be a MOT failure if the reflective strips on or near the number plate???

Nope, and unfortunately I'm now off until the 9th... If only I'd seen this earlier, was chatting to a guy from Traffic earlier about their new toy and could have asked!:punk:

Focus and Mondeo have their reflectors on the bottom of the bumper, and other cars have them quite high up... I guess you could get away with one each side of the number plate, while still in the recess? - Best bet would be to ask your MOT man, if it passes that then it should be road legal!

Now THAT would be telling!!! Although lets face it, it's probably posted up on a million forums by now!:shifty:

It's a slightly tuned and unmarked Seat Leon Cupra :smart:

Certainly am if it's ok with you? Will be getting my Dremel back on Friday, so that should make things a bit easier!! - Need to find out what size nuts, bolts and washers I need to get! :)

Have spoken to my MOT man and as long as i get some reflectors, no matter how big or small, then it'll pass the MOT. I've since bought some small'ish reflectors from Halfords and once the car's clean will be sticking them on! So, the original mk2 rear lenses are still for sale, so any reasonable offer considered!!
