Could you point to where exactly it says 'its against the law or illegal' as to my knowledge, it is neither. I used to ride a bike with the blue bottle on the side and ultimately it was pointless as any sport bike pulling up alongside and looking down would just wave you on! And a 2.5lb bottle would last less than a minute of smiley face ache!

they will insure you to drive on the highway on tyres but the police will do you for deliberately wheel spinning

I used to run NOS in my 66 VW Camper. It was fully declared on my insurance as well as all the other mods. It went through 2 MOT's also! KGM insured me

ive seen escorts and capris go through mots with welded modified struts and track control arms but the mot book states it as a reason for failure

I guess it all comes down to the knowledge of the MOT inspector I guess.

 

I have to take a print out of a specific paragraph within the test criteria each time the VW has an MOT as it isn't fitted with windscreen wipers. It has opening front windows thereby making it exempt from having them. I sometimes get "beef" because of my USA spec rear lights that have integrated red indicators rather than UK spec amber ones. Due to the year of the VW though they're allowed.

Hi,

Obviously the onus is on the policyholder to make sure their vehicle is road legal and we cover modifications if they are however as far as we're aware and from what we've read in press, on-line etc there doesn't appear to be any specific laws we can find against having NOS fitted on a road vehicle.

Regards,

Dan.
