Chopping your springs, removing exhaust silencer boxes, upping mixture / timing to get more power, increases co2 emmisions and can also fail.

All of these are really bodging your car, if you carry out mods properly with the right kit you shouldn't have a probem. Make sure any engine mods are set up by people who know what they are doing too.

dehandled doors, lack of side repeaters, car to low to get on ramps, lack of fog light..

Fog light on wrong side if you have fitted coloured ones that are usually european spec. Tyres fouling rear arches.

guys prolly just lettin u off

they are supposed to fail it if the wiper doesnt park to one side - but tbh - who really cares

i mean if the emmissions are fukc or there is a major mechanical issue then fine but a wiper position :!:

so they prolly just ignored it

Badly fitted seats, not straight and level
Putting your number plate in a stupid place and not having it lit.

Keep it Standard!
