Now that is clean!

this is the only picture ive seen of this and looks a bit photoshopped to me, although i am no expert in photoshop

Im not sure I think it is real but if it is then it is purely a show pony and wouldnt be able to be road legal without a fair few bits added to it which would spoil the mini-malist (see what i did there ;) ) look

only a numberplate surely? indicators could easily be hidden behind the grille or in the bottom of the bumper

Well from what I can see, wing mirrors , central mirror, no plates, indicators ( yeah hidden would be best) a way of opening the doors from the outside that isnt electronic incase of an accident and electrics failed, and I have seen this car before and I dont think its got rear lights at all so those as well

and add all that up and it wouldnt look the same

This actually looks like the one from magnaflow exhaust guys in uxbrigde, hillingdon, London and is a show car, but road worthy and yes it is road worthy as I seen it drive down to L2B 2010 and looks amazing, if it is the same one

hmmm, i don't know...

Heres what i was told by my boss from an mot point of view, all thouhg this was on anti roll bar links -

N/S anti roll bar link missing or broke- fail.
O/S anti roll bar link missing or broke - fail.
N/S + O/S anti roll bar links missing or broke - pass

So if mirrors etc are not there, prehaps it doesn't come into the test?

Or maybe something as serious as mirrors etc need to be there?

Ofcourse they need to be there! If there are no anti roll bar links, the bar is serving no use, therefore cannot be dangerous... You need mirrors by law.

A rear view plus a drivers door mirror (overtaking mirror). I believe a nearside is optional this may be age related)

If their both not there, nothing to test... Thats what i was told!

That's what my initial reaction was, but when you look into the ideas that the ministry/vosa have in mot's its crazy.

Very nice! Wished I'd copyrighted my clubman cartoon though so I could charge Kappa for the use!

How could you charge me, as I did not copyright anything, just quoted on a pic of a car

Not in regards to mirrors, for a car to pass an mot it must have a drivers side mirror, and one other mirror. It doesn't matter if the additional mirror is on the passenger side door or a rear view one, as long as its one on the drivers side then one more.

Either way, this car is a trailer queen and earns no respect from me

[skoughi]

Was meaning the little cartoon thingy at the bottom of your post Kappa, the red and black clubman. Don't panic son, i'm not serious, actualy taking it as a compliment!
