Altech do you not need rear reflectors to pass an m.o.t?

Was thinking of getting the side mouldings removed but I was informed
theres a chance the metal might warp too much from the welds so giving
it a miss for just now.

Right now im desperately looking for a set of wheels possibly tt comps or merc amg efforts
as i cant justify a set of bbs wheels. So anyone know of any wheels for sale ideally 17"s?

I haven't been through an MOT yet without the reflectors, so can't really comment. If they do make a fuss i'll just buy some stick on reflectors and whack them on for it to pass.

A lot of cars on the road don't have additional reflectors as they are built into the rear lights.

How much can you get tt comps for then matty?

Amg's would be amazing and possibly the 1st for a mk4 ibiza
i could be wrong though if i am could people post pics?

I could go down that route but i want to be able to return the car to
standard eventually with as little effort as possible if you know what
i mean might still adopt the idea though and get another bumper:p

Any ideas on a tyre size for them though as they look pritty wide for 17"s?

Oh and before someone asks there are 4 alloys ones just not in the pics lol.

205/40/17 should be perfect tyre size. Gives a little stretch aswell.

These will look minted on your car.

Jo and Matty im sure have/had 205/40/17s on theirs. Although, i think there are 2 widths on these wheels. Some were 7.5" and some were the 8.5" you have. Standard are 225/45/17 as far as i can remember.
