additional brake lights

It's got to be legal and sounds like a really cool idea. So long as people don't think your engine has caught fire!

I saw a Beetle with a perspex engine cover and a perspex distributor cap - looked crazy at night, well cool.

I can't see why it would be illegal and I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing to my KG having seen it on one in Germany. (Works quite well)

Lotus Elise Mk.1 has reverse and fog lights behind a grille :

More importantly it's an additional light so long as it corresponds to the colour requirements (IE it's red to the rear then it should be OK)

No legal probs. you can buy hi-level Brake lights to fit off the shelf to go "on the shelf" :) for more normal hatch backs and saloons.

Had one on my old Skoda Estelle.

You know Ian, you want to be careful, they don't much go for "Cheap crappy underpowered cars, with a few hundred weight of fibreglass glued on" :)

Mind you, it's hardly the same a Nova with a Combat kit is it.

You take a lot more metal off than you add back in GRP (I just wish I had picked up that old type 1 with a 356 reg just for the VIN plate as the rest was rotten)

in fact it is the old Skoda foglights i am using Carl, wired into the brake light circuit. i think now i will mount 2 - one each side of the grill. I heard of a nasty case in the US of a 4x4 ploughing into the back of a Spyder this seems a cheap and effective mod

Cheap? maybe. Effective? I don't think even high level bake-lights are going to be able to increase the intelligence of a 4X4 driver ;o)

Ah the nice simple dangle down ones that had to be fitted to get them into the UK.

Hows the project going? Through SVA, close to SVA, still bogged down by the manual?
