Is it not a legal requirement for cars to have indicator repeaters somewhere on the side? Pretty sure it is.

As far as I know, side repeaters aren't required if the indicators in the front headlights are visible from the side, as in how some headlights wrap around the wing.

So cars with indicators on the 'grille side' of the headlights would require side repeaters. All you need is a lax MOT tester though. In fact if it falls under the construction and use things, it might just go as 'not present / not tested'?

Could just be the angle of the picture but something doesn't look right about the door position and shut lines. Lambo doors perhaps?

Lupo/Arosa are known for dropping doors.

Photo taken today, I'm honestly not sure if this is a mod to black out the bottom of the bumper (like a Focus RS innit bruv...) or a repair from maybe hitting a speed bump. But whatever it is, the black tape is an interesting choice of material

Yes it was an MGF. The chap who "designed" it is on the MGF Register Facebook page. He says he was once an Austin Rover apprentice. Make of that what you want.

Here's a front view.

someone trying to do a K1 attack on the cheap?

If the car is actually MR2 based it is called Jakabi, if it is MGF based it is called Abster, both designed by Paul Goldsmith, who is an experienced automotive clay modeller. There is an article about him in the latest issue of TKC (which was TotalKitCar).
