Have you checked streamline carbon mate? Only problem is they have to be bonded on. If you're losing the jets any way its worth cutting them down and bonding the carbon covers on top,

Will it still pass the MOT if u take the washer jets out??

 

[1sam23]

should still pass i think ill check out streamline carbon cheers

No.

Unless you swap the Xenon units for standard jobbies.

No.

Thought so, the E.U. Rubbish says xenons need washers and self levellers to be legal :S I was gonna remove mine but heard it's a potential MOT fail

My old cars where never connected and passed 3 MOT's at 3 different garages, worry at MOT if and when its a problem tbh.

It's not MOT fail, mine haven't worked since I bought it and it passed on Friday, they are a legal requirement at point of manufacture, but after that there is no actual check on an MOT.

correct

mot is basically a check to see if car passed MINUMUM standard to be on the road, doesn't go into construction and use regs etc... eg. rear numberplate needs to be illuminated, you could take it to mot with a purple number plate light and it would pass, but still be againt road traffic rules

Ahh so the MOT won't be failed but if a picky vosa or anal police person wants to make a fuss they can?!

I'm thinking of removing mine, thought about filling and spraying but if it cracks, will look very pikey, keep checking the breakers for some cup covers, hard to come by tho unless you want to pay through the nose for them.

correctamundo, and the chances of that happening are slim to none

Was chatting to one of my police mates the other day and she was saying that on a roadside stop they can pull you up for anything that is regulation - even if your car had passed an MOT that morning. Seems retarded, but still - yeah and unlikely to happen...
