Yeah, Jap imports in the uk have to have rear fog lights added. Same for the new Monaro, they had to add extra fog lights for the uk.

Yeah I knew that about the fog lights, but I thought that normal practice on the FTO was to rewire the inside rear brake lights to act as fog lights which meant you didn't need to fit extra lights.

Trouble is most garages in the UK wouldn't be aware of this and just go for the easy option of butchering the bumpers... :evil:

One of the first things i did was get a replacement bumper to remove the SVA fogs..

Thanks for all the comments guys 8)

Red as we all know is the fastest colour :twisted: but even faster is red with a flymo orange flip like mine :twisted: :twisted:


and a UK refugee forum is an excellent idea so us pommey's or whatever it is you lot call us can organise ourselves :roll: :lol:
