One on the horn not working even though it does so im appealing that'un
Side repeaters not being there (smoothed off)
And emissions quite badly! 1600 CO2 over 1200 
We didnt have time to put a new ICV on the car so we're putting that on and an AFM for the next test hopefully will sort it......

Hopefully the wires will still be complete with the plug on the end etc and all you'l need to do is put a bulb in and stick the side repeater on
or go to the scrappys and get 2 wings with holes in them it'l probably be easier as its only a few bolts hold the wing on
doesnt matter what colour they are as its just to get you through the mot

if you dont swap wings you'l defo have to extend them because they'l have to come through the door checks and you'l have wires on the outside of the wing goin from the rear of the wing (door check) to wherever the side repeater is.

wired them to the battery?
Do they just come on if you wire them to the battery then?
I think we're going to do a long term that could work.
Going to feed wires from plugs up through wing, then up door and through wing mirrors, the drill a small hole and attach astra mk4 repeaters to the underside of the mirrors. should look alright!
What people think?

Dan, if your indicators currently flash at 'normal' speed, you'll have to change the relay if you add side repeaters, or they'll flash mega slowly.

surely it'll be fine if the plugs are still there. dont see why it would change them
and i think it just depends on the MOT station revolver, as a mate of mine who does mot#s dais he would of passed them
