Just failed my MOT for a few things but one of them was that i have no side repeaters where the nova arches have been fitted, I was under the impression that if you had repeaters they must work but if you don't have them it's ok? sure some people off of here have got rid of them????

You dont need them on a car thats pre 1984. Anything after that its a legal requirement.

What size do you need? might be better of with a 16mm holesaw if you get up to that sort of size.

You wont get a 14-15mm bit in a drill - most chucks only go up to 12mm max unless you get one thats been machined down at the end.

mirrors would not suit my car at all, I'll just cut the holes and paint over the bare metal with touch up
