Interior Stripping And Body Kits On P Platers

[jdm junior]

iv taken all out from rear seats backwards and all the trim but the dash (centre console, gear stick surround gone) iv organised for my doors to have a alluminium plate cut so i can only have the door release latch on it and then the mirrors and window switchs mounted on a custom board where the stereo was

i also wanted to get wider fenders in the rear and fit a better looking kit (have uras one that i want to change) and some bride seats fitted

any ideas if all this is p plate legal?

Ill give my 2c worth... Pretty sure there is no law on having flared guards. Unless you guys over east have gay laws.

As long as the read seat belts have been removed and your car is re-registered as a 2-seater, you'll be fine. Also, no difference in those rules between a P-plater and someone who isnt.

I've been doing research on the same topic and interior wise it's all legal. All you need is dash, door trim, no sharp edges and no holes in the cabin. Rear seats can be taken out and left without a mod plate as long as the seat belts are still there but it's alot easier if you just get it mod plated to a 2 seater.

"For vehicles fitted with bolt in seating structures, no approval by

an Approved Person is necessary for the temporary removal of

seats, provided the category of the vehicle does not change as a

result of the seating reduction."

Just try and keep it as safe and simple as possible. If it looks like a shit box then you'll get all kinds of the wrong attention. Also, have a look through the transport website...
