Hi, There are a lot of e30's in the mags that have only one main beam headlight so more air is fed to the air filter, does anyone no if this is legal and would pass an mot with just one light.

Not sure on this either, but i do know they don't test the aim of the main beams so you could be ok.

Giles that's a fab pic of your car, it's really sharp considering you're driving!

It was tough, I tell you...

I had a camera on a tripod on one corner of the track with a remote button in the car, so when I came up to it, I pressed the remote button... and Hey Presto, a pic of me driving. Cool huh?

He he he... not really.

Some guy taking pics all day, paid Ԛ£20 for a CD full of really good shots. Well worth it.

Would be interested in a 'fog light air duct' if you can make another one... though for the other side... :wink:

nah you don't want to do that to either of your nice cars! you forget that mine is a Ԛ£100 nail and i really don't care, i had to hack a big hole in the flat panel behind the headlight, it's really not pretty!

Mine's a track car remember... cosmetics come second! Well, a very close second.

Understand if you don't wanna do it. I expect it's a lot of hassle, especially when you're so busy with your own...

it's that bloody toyota that's causing me issues at the moment!

i'll have a play around when i have a spare minute, shouldn't be too hard to knock another one up.

mental note: for the LEFT side not the RIGHT side!!!

i'm bound to forget...
