Fame at last!

Anyone got the CKC magazine? On page 14, they have an article on Stoneleigh, with a photo of our stand front and centre AND (obviously more importantly), my car right slap bang in the middle! 

This is about as famous as I get...

I'm in the photo to talking to Andy and Alan, my car is hidden in the background though

My black and orange zero is on the next page ☺

Not fair, I polished mine and no center-spread pictures of mine!

[nelmo 237]

Yeah, he definitely didn't choose that photo for the polish on my car (there is none!) - I'm guessing the title on the picture links to the 'GBS Zero' sticker on the back of my car? And the clock tower looks good...

I’m next to you so I will bask in the glory as well   Are your rear lights legal ?  I thought they had to be red glass even if the bulb is red ?

Ive seen them for sale on CBS and Kit spares, I was possibly looking to change mine to clear so I assume they are ok

Er...don't know - never thought about that. If anyone knows for sure, would be glad to hear...I'm pretty sure I've seen tintops with clear rear lenses but I could be wrong. 

Edit: the official rules ( http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/12/made) just say, "colour: red" but that presumably means the colour when on - there is no mention of lens colour or  colour when off.

Mines the orange mudguards to the right haha I’ll take that

Some of the classic minis used to run clear lenses my landrover defender has clear lenses never a problem at mot or police so I would say legal 

[IanS 56]

My old vectra had clear indicator lenses and yellow bulbs as fitted new by GM, never had a problem.

I have failed a MOT on a cracked rear light showing some white, a bit of red tape proved a leagle fix.

[nelmo 237]

Doh!!! When I said I had seen clear lenses, I forgot about my own car!!

So I’ve just fitted led rear bulbs to my kit. Now the lights look more orange than red. Could this be an mot issue?
