Default How to check the legality on mods

Not sure which section this would go in.

I was just wondering how to get the car checked over so I know what could be a problem so I get no hassles from the cops.

If anyone knows a good place to get it done post below.

Thanks guys

Any of the workshops in the workshop sticky.

Just looking at your profile picture, front mount and rims would get you nabbed.

If its a mod, its most likely illegal.

I understand the intercooler, that has been painted black so it looks more discreet.

Whats wrong with the rims?

Rims are not the factory 17" items. Look to be larger and have hardly any sidewall. Depending on how much larger, potentially yellow sticker material.

Usually rims means you have coilovers. Another potential problem.

Also noticed your bonnet scoop. Another potential problem.

Long story short, if it isn't OEM, potentially a problem. Make the car look stock, sound stock and run around at a stock height and you should have minimal problems.

Yeh the rims are 18's on 45mm walls if im not mistaken.
Bonnet scoop has been covered up underneath with a metal plate and it sits a bit lower than normal.

Anything over stock will potentially cause you a problem.
