dont worry about the cat - it only restricts you!!

diffrent MOT stations will either ensure you have cat, or not be bothered. find a leaniant MOT station

it goes off whichever is older car/engine

just looking at that and looked up the legality of sunstrips as everyone seems to ask...........



reason for fail............. e) a Windscreen sticker or other
obstruction encroaching more than 40mm

however......

'Official' stickers are only a reason for rejection if they seriously restrict the drivers view.
'Official' stickers should be taken to be any sticker that is used in connection with 'road enforcement', 'security' or 'crime prevention' matters..


does that mean you can have a fuck off clifford sunstrip as a 'crime prevention' matter :wink:
