Squiggs Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Daft thing is that there are far more unsafe cars "to their original specification" than enthusiast owned modified cars, rods etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Collins Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I can see where this is a good thing in some respects when you see the boy racers sheds held together with duck tape and rivets. My car is modified , a standard mk5 golf tdi but added extra GTi genuine bbs vw wheels, grille, headlights, tails lights and a top of the range tuning box By steinbauer ( not your £50 eBay special ). Now this all being genuine vw modifications parts except tuning chip ( which can be turned off while driving on the fly if required ) , would that make my car illegal ?
