Side Repeaters
Turbo Mini Forums

What year did side repeaters come manditory again?

Mid 80's? Anyone know the exact year? Im just after a mini shell (alot of 80's ones round mine) and i dont want to have to put the horrid looking things on the wings

pretty sure it would go un-noticed if you removed them...

87 i think

mine is a 87 dam!!
i may just take them out anyway

It wasn't my choice to MOT it as an earlier year, they must of just seen the black plates (I forgot to take off), old rear lights and grill and then put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5!

lol nice, found your pics matty, love the car.

your more likely to get pulled over by the old bill if run around with black and white plates rather than no side indicators i would of thought!

aye true, lol couldnt afford a pre-1972 shell lol

side repeaters on minis should be banned! and sportspack arches should be smooth and not have the side repeater indents in them!

My 86 had side repeaters.

I fitted a GRP front and just used the side repeaters on the front and never had an MOT problem.

The things you do in your youth

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

sorry, in my post i meant you need them for an mot if your car was registered in 1987,

minis had them on before but you can get rid

IIRC it was April 86.

With current MOT test regs if they come up in the check and they can't tick the box on the screen (because they aren't there) the machine (not the man) will fail your car.

Black and White plates are a bit of no-no too (as you all know) but as the tick box on the screen will read something like "Both plates fitted and in good condition" so you may get away with them.

Give it a try if your brave but I'd not play with big brother these days .... has a nasty habbit of bitting back!

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

I thought about fitting them to Candice's car as the way the muppets drive round here you can do with every possible way of being seen ... not that they are looking!!!
