Talkingcars 180
 
A few photos of my car at work.

Recently a workmate traded his very cleany reg VW Jeeta 1.9tdi 110bhp in for a VW 1.6 mini mpv
(he is a faimily man with a 6 year old) but within a week it had a complete failure
of the dashboard electronics so the dealer let his a car off the forecourt while it was being fixed,
and the only car they had with tax this red MGZS180.
It had an aftermarket exhuast, a new H/U and 4k miles more than mine.

The pictures also show the diffrence between standard lights and my tinted ones.

This is the sight that greated me every night as I left work before the nights got lighter.

Let's hope your workmate decides to keep the 180 ;)

..the 'only' car? Don't see any problem with that. :)

oh i really love those tinted lights, what did you use if you dont mind me asking.

Nice pics indeed :smile1:. Not keen on the smoked front indicators on a light coloured car maybe on a dark one. If youve darkened the rear reflectors they will fail MOT.

my car passed its mot with really dark tinted lights.

talkingcars 28-04-08 08:06 PM

I used a spray tint, I did post a thread somewhere.

The great thing with this stuff is that you can remove it with nail varnish IF it doesn't pass the MOT or you want a change.

Personally I think the dark indicators are much better than the orange ones and easier than dismantaling the front end to fit R45 headlights.

My undersatanding, but I could be wrong is that reflectors must be left clear and unimpaired.

Usefull to know it can be removed with nail varnish, does it leave any smeares when removed?

dj_russell 29-04-08 09:26 AM

well they are meant to be illegal its always been a grey area i suppose it depends if you get an mot tester that really hates modified cars like my old mates dad, he resprays cars and does a good job but refuses to work on any modded car lol.
