If it's just the rears tinted, then ALL IS FINE with that in the eyes of the law

just that i got pulled over like last year and i was in London for a Wedding and they suspected the car been stolen.... one thing i havent reported my car stolen and out of all the places why would i drive my car through the busyst place in london if it was stolen... =S

but thanks mate =)

I take it you are all above board, insurence, tax 2.0 on log book

well what you mean?... i do insure it and tax and mot

[Steve!]

i'm guessin NOT by the fact you have NOW blanked the number plate... So the insurance isn't a 2.0l

i meant to blank it before but ive sent off my log book with mods...so hopefuly its going to be going into a MOT test station to see if its road legal
but the car has been off road since i got it back from Chris Astley Motorsport casue my dad wouldnt let me have it, and its still off road on axel stands

but still i know quite a few people out their who still claim thier corsa's / fiesta's to be 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 and not conversioned

[Steve!]

thats them... Two wrongs don't make a right!

So if you know a lad who rapes a girl, would you do it?? Doubt it.

Best to be legal my friend. It don't need to go to an MOT station either. You just change the engine number and CC on the logbook and all is well. Then when you insure it, you tell them it's a 2.0 Corsa.... simples Meerkat

ahh o ok i heard that it goes to a MOT station for test's
but all is well soon casue log book has been sent off few days ago

[Steve!]

I have changed many engines.... never been to an MOT station for tests. If you made a space frame or something then maybe yes, but an engine change is OK

[Steve!]

Seeing as it was a 1.2, you will have to pay more road TAX

[Ollie-Turbo]

If the police catch you with a 2.0 and you haven't declared it don't they have the right to crush the car? That's what Ive heard anyway

[corsay]

not sure if im rite in sayin this but you pay tax as if it was a 1,2 still as it goes off wot the car was originally.and best to keep it legal dude

[Steve!]

no not right, you pay the tax on the CC of the car!

[CorsaBBoy1290]

no not right, you pay the tax on the CC of the car!

lol dont worry people ive sent the log book off so all is well by end of this week hopefully will recieve new log book =D

[TINTIN]

Usually takes about 3 weeks. Most important thing to do is inform your insurance company.

[CorsaBBoy1290]

o ok i aint going to insure it yet im just still doing bits and bobs on it at the moment so its SORN

[djivesp]

going back on topic lol - i think its probably the tints that attract the police in the first place. You have black windows = you dont want people seeing inside, and this poses the question as to why.
I'd say get rid of them, they're a bit gay nowadays anyway

[CraigGreen]

YES. Limo tints look crap.

OE green tint looks best, darkest when parked in shade obviously.

yh i no i was thinking about gettin rid of them mind you the allys are gone ive stuck on some calibra 5 spoke alloys
and i have a sub and 6x9's quite expensive stuff but i dnt want tht stuff to gt robbed.. =(

but all is well soon casue log book has been sent off few days ago

are you thinking about an engineers report?

[djivesp]

yeah, that's the downside to having nice gear . How about a stealth shelf for the 6x9's and the shelf would then cover the sub? At least then it looks less conspicuous
