Roy, one question, 3rd brake light. It's my understanding that all cars now by law must have a 3rd brake light. Coupe's obviously have theirs in the windscreen, but the verts have it integrated into the bootlid.

Is this true? Or is this going to be MOT friendly?

Also, any plans to make this in PU / ABS plastic at a lower pricepoint? If so, I may be up for having one!

Also, if you need a test car [hiya

a very good point Fas (* brakelight )

the customer who actually commisioned the first one of these specifucally asked for brake light to be deleted , but we will offer them with and without on future sales .

I am not sure if it it an MOT requirement ( and if so why ?) , can anyone shed any more light on this ?
