TÜV Help Berlin

[mattdyson]

Hi PH'ers,

I've been living over here in Berlin for a while now with work and it doesn't look like I'm heading to back to the UK soon. I bought be beloved Toyota Celica with me which I've mostly been using for Freies Fahren, holidays and to shuttle my MTB about.

I think the time has come to get the car registered over here. Now I'm pretty sure I've got the basics covered (LHD headlights, dual rear reversing lights + fogs and km/h on the dials) and know I need to get the Certificate of Conformity from Toyota UK but am not so sure on some other more complex pieces.

First of all the car is LPG converted, and whilst certificated by a UK approved installer in the UK I know I'll need at least an emissions check over here. Would I need anything more?

Secondly the car is lightly modified. For some of these mods I can get the ABE certificate, for the Weitec Lowering Springs for example, and others I can remove like my Ultra Racing Strut brace. However other modifications I don't have the ABE and aren't as easy to remove for the test. Any advice on which should be ok and won't (and what to do in this situation) would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a small mod list...

- MWR underdrive pulleys (hoping these won't be noticed as they're dark grey)
- JDM TRD Exhaust Backbox (Any ideas?)
- Magnex 200 cell sports cat (hoping it won't be noticed)
- Assorted Poly Bushes (ARB, wishbone, engine mount etc)
- HEL Braided Hoses (Think I can get a ABE)
- Mtech Grooved Discs (will these be ok?)

Thanks in advance!
Matt
