Hi all, so I've had my 1989 TX5 Turbo exempted for over a year now on my P2 Probationary licence. No real police trouble lately however since adding a front mount intercooler, loud dose pipe and coilovers i'm starting to get nervous.
Can they do me any demerit points?

Here's a timeline of my sheer obnoxiousness ending with somewhat subtley.
Rock stocker!

Okay i'm just asking for it now.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Your lucky to be exempt, why the added wank factor?

For starters I would be putting your P plates back up onto the windows
Next - in one photo I can see the bottom of your bar - and in the next it looks like you have cut it off?
If I was you - put the proper bar back on and paint your cooler and the pipes a dull black. otherwise you are screaming for trouble

Added wank factor: Turbo was getting hot, needed an intercooler, struts were broken found coilovers, cut bar because I was oh-so excited to have an intercooler and the fact that i'm a ****ing asshole probably added to the wank factor
Petros, I re attached the bar in the cheapest, filthiest way I could. The photos (time wise) were back back to front. I should gather some paint and give it a coat definately.

And raise it. Otherwise pretty clean.

Hey that's me! Nah in all honesty a little TX5 dropping a loud dose is allright..it's funny makes people smile/say poaahhh/turn away in disgust. I hope when I introduce my VL all will be forgiven. It's tasteful and respectful of the original VL.
