Thats the problem when you spray the whole bottom. You're not meant to spray over the reflector. Buy smoked jewels they are better anyway :)
Jack
19th February 2011, 15:01
They're just standard ones which have been tinted :S
That's why then, the standard reflectors were designed to work with the darkness of the standard light cover, not one that's been tinted. I don't think they're legal, sorry.

Nah i think they look alot better if you havnt colour coded your bumpers like mine :P
Plod used to pull me alot with my old saxo as me and my mate were crazy and ripped up the streets but we have since changed cars and respect then so the plod dont notice us, iv been pulled up 4 times since owning this saxo and 2 of the times were in mansfield at around 2 in the morning in the space of half hour (think somebody on here may have rang them as i was going to pay them a visit lol) but the other times were because i was going faster than the road limit and another undertaking in a 40 when the car in the right hand lane was doing 30 and wouldnt pull over.... pod are normally ok around here just depends how you treat them.
devilsadvocate
19th February 2011, 18:23
Since the age of 17, I have only been pulled once and that was because I forgot to turn my lights on coming out of a car park (street lights so didnt notice)
I have had 7 cars (never crashed any), a Nova (boy racer car), two saxos, a citroen ax, a 205, twingo and a fiesta si.
Only every been pulled over once lol

That does not make them legal though as there clearly not. It is just luck on your side that they did not pull you. Will will probably find that they where not actually trained for vehicle inspection.
PS You should really not show your number plate on here. There is the people cloning cars thing but also it would only take one person to be upset you have illegal lights to call the police with your plate and dob you in.
Chris_O
21st February 2011, 12:14
I've heard about hiding your plates for cloning reasons, but what difference does it make if your cars out on the road with visible plates all the time? Everyone's going to be able to see it and do whatever they want, take pics etc
matt_vtr_15a
21st February 2011, 12:23
I have been pulled recently for different reasons...
However I had very dark lights on (darker than yours) and had no problem!! I never had a problem with my de-cat etc and they never checked to see if mods where declared!!
I live near mansfield and drive to nottingham city centre everyday so must be lucky :P

Smoked jewels dont have reflectors iirc anyway. Thats whtly they send you the seperate stick on reflectors that no one uses.
