Hey guys just had the CRAPPEST night, was a lovely wedding and on the way home from the adelaide convention centre, got defected and had my night ruined.. 5 months ago I went to regency and failed the inspection the first time, and the second time I passed after changing a few things (braided hose lines etc) and to be safe, I asked 3 inspectors there if my spoiler was fine, they all said 'yes it isnt sharp and its within the profile of the car.' Tonight on the way home, had to go through a RBT, pulled me in, treated me rudely, told me your spoiler is an automatic defect etc, and I told them what regency said and they didn't care. They said some new 'LAW' about spoilers are now in place.. some crap about the edge of the spoiler being 5 or 10 cm radius so its not sharp or something, my spoiler isnt sharp at all, its a HKS kansai T wing.. the fact I got defected for something legal (or at least I was told it was) was bad enough, but then he said I had to go thru regency.. I remember reading somehwere here a rule that if 2 things or less were defected then its a simple cop shop, 3 or more is regency- after arguing (i was polite at all times) it turned out that i had to go thru regency.. that stubborn prick..
1) has anyone heard of this new spoiler law.. I want to find out if it's true or if he milked it, cos I'll do everything in my power to make his life hell and prove that the spoiler is fine.. Do i need to check on the DTEI website?
2) is that 2 or less defect = cop shop fact or fiction? if its real then 4 screws from inside the boot to remove the spoiler and a simple cop shop trip will be so much easier than going through a whole VIS at regency ..., AGAIN
if either of these 2 swing my way I'll be able to do something.. Anyones input will be very very greatly apreciated, thanks guys
