Silver! Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Rear mud flaps? Or would that be too low?You could always stick them on the boot with magnets for MOT purpose.Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yeah, but you could always just stick them on for the MOT and take them off again.Do you have mudflaps? That's where I'd put them if I had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 It may be worth fitting them on a permanent basis - especially if you park at the roadside often... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 al mate , its a yellow car there going on , would be hard to miss itnot in the day... but believe me 70% of the people currently on the road are propper thick f-ckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arosa_03 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 not in the day... but believe me 70% of the people currently on the road are propper thick f-ckers.LOL - I do like a good randomly made up statistic! beside it's probably a higher percentage in oldham Al! even I drive down the middle of the road to avoid all beeping potholes in oldham! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> On topic again, don't forget it doesn't have to be those reflectors, you could just get some narrow reflective tape to meet mot regs.

Tigz™ Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 You need to stick on a pair of reflectors for MOT, and TBH if you park your car on the roadside at night, Id certainly leave them on.I used to have those lights on my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 The other thing is, Your insurers WILL DO ANYTHING to get out of paying for a claim, no matter how petty... no reflectors on the rear could just be a mealticket for them ! no matter how petty you think it is.
