Got me adjusta rides, Gaz dampers and new wheels (old 13" wheels for sale soon today) slammed the lot on, and check it out...



You've heard of the 3-finger rule? Well, this is the barely 1-finger rule It looks the nuts and it doesn't scrape, but the ride breaks your back over the tidiest pothole, so it will have to be raised up again Just thought I'd get some pictures while she's looking good.

Ps. Legal?



Is that arch covering that tire?

Arch is fine.

2 finger rule on TukTuk's car and it scrapes on the bumpers etc still.

[Ethel]

The arches look ok but your rear lights puzzle me. Not original Rover kit I guess, I can't see any sign of a red reflector: that's a legal requirement.

Red Reflector legal requirment? I didnt know that... Does it Apply even if you have a red bulb?

What about Clear indicators with orange bulbs?

So many people have frosted lenses...

On another point, A guy i know stupidly over sprayed is 106 lights in black, so you could barely see them. He got tugged on the way to Collage and given a veichle defect thing, and told to change em! Serves him right!

It is, no one will see your red bulb when you're parked with the lights off. Not sure if it's still an offence to park against the direction of traffic at night, so many do, but it certainly used to be and it's not a good idea on an unlit road regardless of the law. Coloured bulbs are legal.

Yeah, I've heard clear lens are illegal? They came with the mini, nowt to do wiv me!

I wonder what tuktuk's opinion is on clear lens?

Oh yeah, and I've got some group 2 arches to redo the front, and maybe the rear.

[Mini_Magic]

Clear rear lights should look have reflectors like this...



(any excuse to show it off! )

[Goatboy]

Reflector huh? :/

Looks simple enough, but it's amazing how they can ruin the look of a car. Sigh, I'm so vain!

TukTuk has the "normal" type clear lenses. These ave the red reflector built into the bottom.

You have the clear jewel type lenses, which come with a red insert and a seperate reflector i believe.

Um...not really. They look fine to me.

I'd rather have little red squares at the back then get pulled over by the police and get a fine or worse!

reflectors that come with the jewel lenses, fit under the bumper near the boot hinges (sorry photo bucket not working)
these type are also E marked (road legal)

Exactly! But, this was before I realised there are two types of clear lens.
