No, only sent off paperwork today, but the registration process lists year of manufacture as 2018 on the forms - so I've been told that what it will be? If I'm wrong on the mot stuff then woohoo!!! thats good, but it's not what I've been advised so far...... Wait one... a 2018 car... don't we have some sort of rule for the age of car to be on retrorides

Have you tried breaking out 31" of super sticky rubber? Even with the best part of 400 bhp it's a tall order!

It will howl the tyres up to 30mph under hard accelleration, but i think it will need a patch of water under them to break them loose.

When your POV rotates 180 degrees you suspect you may have overdone it slightly

Been fiddling while waiting for reg to come through, original indicators refitted and looking to alter the IVA compliant ones to be a bit less 'in your face'. New tiny ultrabright LED's fit in a bit of tubing; Original with new one next to it; Now you see it; Now you don't Ready for powder coating gloss black - should be almost invisible when done

That is a nice little touch Only a suggestion, but would they be better bolted the other way around? So the indicators are not shrouded by headlight output? (just thinking out loud and not intending to cause offence)

Nice Mark
I'm using those as side repeater on the Corsair mounted under the front bumper mounting bolt so much better.

(just thinking out loud and not intending to cause offence) Probably - but they would not look as nice You can see them from the side easily anyway though. Anyway - that's what side repeaters are for

(just thinking out loud and not intending to cause offence) I on the other hand, would like to cause offence. Your workshop looks rubbish mate. You're an amateur.

I used switchback LED bulbs from Korea to make my pilot lights work as both pilot lights and turn signals within headlights. Problem is they aren't E-marked and therefor not MOT-compliant.

It does lift the front wheels though, so that's a good trade off
