But the kit is on the cert plate so does that mean you couldn't legally run chrome bumpers any more? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus, I have never seen a bodykit added on a cert plate. Pillar gauges too. Wow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes thats correct according to my reading and chats with cert guys. If it's on the plate it has to be on the car. Even if you remove the part and go back to the factory option the car is uncerted, meaning no WOF, meaning no insurance. If you want to change any thing that is listed on the plate it need a to be rechecked and a new plate issued. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least with that you can fit a tested and approved part to your car - the onus is on the part manufacturer to acquire approval and certification - and so long as the car is safe, you're good to go. Here, every car with a deemed significant modification is tested individually and that car is then locked in to it's modified condition. It seems even returning to stock/standard requires further certification. The UK is another case entirely. Too relaxed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
