Yea I was wondering about how the boots sits lower than the side of the car... Is it possible if you could replace it with a boot of an R33 sedan? would it fit? or do we have to buy that small wing like up top ^^^ (I wana take mine off soo bad)

Are there any legal issues with removing the brake light in the wing and replacing with a drift wing?

I dont have a brake light in the rear parcel shelf so if i put a drift wing on the only brake lights I will have will be the stove tops.

Anyone ever been pinged for removing the brake light in the wing?

Cheers

hey mate,

not sure what the rules are in other states, but in SA. you need a brake light at eye-level. so either a light in the spoiler or a brake light in the rear parcel self. so i suggest to go to your transport place in your state, ask them if its a defect and yeah go from there.

but i have a feeling you'll need one. they can be bought from places like supercheap auto etc... and are easily wired.

hope that helps!

cheers

That is what I thought, thanks for that.

I think it would be a bit difficult to cut out a brake light recess into the drift wing. I guess I might have to rig one up into the rear parcel shelf. Not that keen on having it there - but rules are rules. That is the sort of excuse most insurance companies look for to get out of honouring a claim.

Most people I have seen with the little drift wing do not have a brake light in the wing or the parcel shelf.

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
