Removing side repeaters

[FMH]

Is this a MOT failure? If so, whats an alternative as i want to flush the repeaters on my cab project

I believe so, get some door mirrors with built in indicators?

Thats a complete no. I don't like indicators in mirrors on top spec new motors, so on a e30, definite no.

Unless its a few LED's built into standard e30 mirrors, as tiny as possible, so you can only see them when they flash. ???

Keep the wiring loom and bulb holder, have it extended, so its still visible for the mot!

What about fixing some E46 repeaters into the plastic bumper moulding strip?

They're nice and small,and it keeps it BMW...

Early e30s dont have side repeaters and i'am sure they pass an mot

prehaps if older than a certain year you dont need them?

[Zizzle]

Correct upto a certain year you are exempt...

however a lil trick alot of dub boys use, is just pulling out the unit over the wings for the actual test and then tucking them away again!

I'm just going to flush them, i'l leave the wiring there, so i can stick on some leds for the test

Eko did a very neat trick with his black M50 build last year. He got hold of smoked repeaters that fit flush into the side bumper moulding - from the US IRC . Almost invisible:

Have a tech 2 kit, so that technique is not possible. I'm just going to flush them, and leave the wiring there, if i need to, i'l put some temporary stick-ons on the mirror for the test. Not too fussed about the cops, theres more reasons to pull me than the repeaters.
