Can you get a blower fitted before you bring it over?


See you soon

Hey how's it going? Sorry for the late reply I've been really busy. Thanks for the info. Can I fix MOT discrepencies on my own time and conveniently at my place or at a hobby shop or do I have to leave it there and do it there at the port?

I have no idea where I'll be picking it up because I haven't shipped it yet. I had an issue with paperwork but I'll be on my soon. Ride height is worrying me because the shipping company mentioned something about it.

Thanks so much for the offer, I'll keep it in mind. When i find out my cars pick up location I'll let you know.
When is your RNLTD?

You're sweating this thing too much. You have 30 days once you pick it up from the VPC to complete the MOT and road tax. If something fails on your MOT you have 7 days to sort it out and take it back to have it re-tested at no charge. You can't do your road tax until your car passes the MOT.

US NFR-- Hey man, I'm over here at RAF Mildenhall and my s2k is on the way. What all did you have done to your car to pass the MOT? I know what I have to do but I'm just looking for suggestions to make it not look like every other USDM car here.. they like stick on random lights on the front and butcher their wiring throughout the car to make different lights do different things.

Thanks man,
Jason

I should get it around Christmas sometime. I'm also wondering what you did with the rear fog light requirement and the clear parking lights in the front. On my friends car they basically disconnected his rear brake light and made it switch on as his fog light with a brighter light, and put amber bulbs in his reverse lights and made them into blinkers. I think his original rear blinkers are completely useless now. He has front fog lights and daytime running lights and they still stuck their little lame LED's on the front. What in the hell are those things?
