Tony Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 To get this look must have took £loads but for the life of me i can't think why anyone would do this?...The tyres would be virtually un-drivable, obviously the car isn't road legal, you need a 5ft ladder to get in/ out so what's the point?

liner33 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Why do you say it isnt road legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Technically in the UK. As long as 75% of the Tyre is underneath the wheelarch / body work it is legal. The USA have very odd laws. In places it's not illegal to drive around without a bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Don't they need headlight aim to be correct in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Dont even need headlamps in UK or US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Headlight aim is part of an MOT and what was all that fuss about the rear lights on the Ferrari LaFerrari being part of the lifting boot in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 This is when a fad goes to far... How much did these wheel cost i wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type approval type regulations are different to mot type regulations . There is no requirement for headlamps to even be fitted and they dont need to use the machine they can use a wall to ensure they work and dont dazzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I find it crazy lights are not part of the MOT in the US...And then the other extreme not allowing tail lights to be on anything that lifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I find it crazy lights are not part of the MOT in the US.. I didn't say that 1) It has lights 2) If it didn't have lights it would not necessarily be illegal 3) Whats legal in one state may not be legal in another and vice versa Lights are only inspected in the UK mot if fitted , no lights is perfectly fine I have had motorcycles on the road with no headlamp Bottom line is you cant assume that something is legal or illegal based on a picture you need more information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Agreed US codes are an utter gamble at best... I know in the UK if the vehicle had lights then they are subject to the MOT parameter.. Say something like cars built before 1940 they are exempt but if fitted within the year frame they have to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
