Removal of indicators on wings

[cupralooks]

Hi All,

I am putting my car in for a respray soon and I was wondering if they are needed for an MOT and I am thinking of getting rid of them and getting it smoothed off.

Are they required?

Cheers

yes they are a legal requirement, unless maybe on wingmirror i believe

Agreed, legal requirement.

Ah thats really annoying, so you think that one orange LED in the wing mirrors would be sufficent?

not sure, i did hear that somewhere. Although looking on the web it seems there are positioning laws as well as to how many mm the side repeater is from the front of car etc...

Maybe worth giving an MOT garage a ring or checking online somewhere

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986
These must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens.

Ok cheers guys, think that I will need to rethink what I will do.

Still want to get rid of the side indicators, just not sure where to relocate them

Does anyone have any ideas on where they could go??

Cheers
