I've just had 2 of these delivered but they have no holes for the indicators, what are my options ???........i could drill holes for the original ones to fit but seeing as i have a blank canvas i was wondering if i could fit something else..???......any ideas

no side reapeaters leave it looking smooth, when it comes to MOT time temp stick some motorbike indicators on or something

People pay money to have their indicators smoothed Very Happy

do what tiz said.

It's a little bit strange for them to not provide indicator holes though.. did they give the option at all?

i think they've sent me the early golf wings they don't require side repeaters. wont the MOT man twig if i have temp ones stuck on cos the wires will have to come up under the arch..??

as long as they're there and they're secure he wont fail them Smile

the second you get out just take them off again

my mate repaired a stolen/recovered audi cab and had to fit new wings it was only when i was sorting out the wiring that the gits had ripped out that we noticed the indicator holes were missing but it had all ready been painted by then ,so he took a gamble a put it in for an mot they didnt notice and passed it

if they not fitted they cant fail them. If they fitted they gotta work. leave them off looks good

not true mate. if the car rolled out of the factory with them on then they need them (or a form of them) for the mot.

il going to mount some orange led's just out of sight on the underside of my wing mirrors that face the door.

the MOT states as long as when you put the indicator on and there is a viewable orange flashing light then its fine.

To true, but you will fail if the mount hole is there with no indecator in, if theres no hole or light theres nowt to test so it cant fail.

This is sorta true, interms of what the book reads but in reality is bull Razz

MOT stations dont have a big book of every car produced with factory specs to check if i should have side indicators.

Every light thats on the car at time of MOT must work, if they on the floor in ya garage they dont need to work lol!
