Any mot tester i know would not pass a vehicle without side repeaters,i know when i used to do it i would not have passed it. Get some clear/white repeaters it may save some hassle Corin
If you want to loose them - fit them on the bottom of the mirrors - they'll show up at the side of the car but will be pretty well invisible when off - I mean who sees the buttons ?..
Corin, the clear repeaters look good on my green car, so they will prob. almost disapear anyway on yours - just bung on clear ones and yer sorted (and of course match clear front indicators!)
