Veilside D1GT BodyKit Illegal?
Hi Guyz....
My dad just called me
apparently when he serviced my 8 at MM, they told him that the Veilside is illegal coz its too big/long ?
Can someone please verify this?
i'm stuck here and cant do anything about it..n the worse thing is my dad is making a hell lot of noise abt it...
this is where the generation gap comes into play...
HahA

If i am not wrong, if the bodykit protudes out too much, it will be considered illegal. A bodykit cannot have any sharp points or odd angles.
But IMO its whatever the unspector says counts. Even if it seem ok; as long as the inspector thinks its not ok; thats it.
Thats how it is here in S,pore. Just like drink driving, even if you are under the limit, they will charge you for drink driving if THEY THINK you are a danger.
Sounds like crap and autocracy to me, but what the heck, its how it is here.
And i can't believe we allow such 3rd world practices to happen...

What the inspector says counts; for starters he can deem your vehicle unroadworthy and you have a big problem then.
Mosts 8s nowshould not have any mod problems yet as only 3 years and above cars require inspection.
But then you may be stopped by a TP at a roadblock and he will send you a ticket.

If original dimensions are different, it MAY be deemed illegal. Onemotoring is only a general guide (note the disclaimer on the site itself). The exact provision (sorry me no access) is in the Road Traffic Act Subsidiary Legislation (Rules and Regulations).
U best action (or reaction) is to find someone who has imported the RX with a similar kit into SG. The kit must have been fitted BEFORE it came in. Me know that MS kit has been imported on a RX into SG before - so it qualifies as 'precedent'. Alternatively, contact u supplier of the kit and ask em to check with LTA for u. Or u may wanna consider writing LTA for clarification.
Worse case scenario - hope u still have u stock kit...

Those who do these 'ultra' mods. are
1) dirt rich
2) go through the back door for inspections. No elaborations.
I actually went to LTA technical's division to ask about modding before. Just a bunch of heck-care snobs. The answer in short is that what they think is what counts.
Yes, one motoring is a guide. But i have heard of people getting into trouble with something as simply as window tint. The poor guy has to redo the tint to pass inspections.
Have you guys realise most modded car are less than 3 years old; thus not inspected yet?
And it pays to be more polite to the cop who stops your car. Save you loads of trouble.

Good advise esp to the cops!
If ur car has lots of illegal mods, it is cheaper to get a garage to send the car for inspection on ur behalf. If ur mod is easily reversible, maybe cheaper to de-mod and fix back after inspection. Dont ask me which garage cos I dont know and my car is not 3 yrs yet :D
and my car still stock :D
As to inspectors, those at inspection centres are diff from the LTA ones. LTA ones surely 'bo chap'. They wash their hands off until ur car appear be4 them.

eg. turbos? or suspension mods? Bodykit? One thing at a time also costs at least 1k and above for lower end modding.
I know of a guy who spent more modding on his rex than buying the car itself.
I think its ex to do extreme mods but ok if you are talking about low end and if you do it one at a time.
