i was considering getting them off http://www.autotintdesign.com/ but i am not positive if the reflectors are present and it is not stated?

what do you think?

(sorry for the shit link, they dont have a direct link, but they are in exterior styling > lighting section)

cheers mate.

Dont think they do, Depends on the police really, I'm sure loads of people here have smoked jewels but never have any trouble.

Could always just buy of those reflector strips.

They're fine, never had any problems with them.

Also mines passed an MOT twice without fitting the reflector strips, but that will depend where you go

the cheaper versions you can get on ebay come with some shitty stick on reflectors and if you dont put them on as well they will fail an mot (obviously dependant on how strict the tester is). the more expensive ones like ultras for example are emarked and therefore fine.
