Quite right Pete, I found a small paint blemish when I recently removed the rear number plate - to make matters worse, I found the beneath of my front bumper stone chipped when it was on a ramp a few days back.  ;)

Am I the only one then who think\'s the rear fog light doesnt look bad. It seems to be a job well done - maybe because i\'ve seen some fitted at a slant!

I would leave it, as the stock panels are not easy to work with and you may not get the result you\'d like. Definitely would not be on top of my to do list. Rather spend the cash on some other mod.  :Hammer

every import ive had (mr2, rx7,wrx and evo) ive put 1 on 4 the mot and sva then un bolted them, ive been lucky then
Not 100% about that one!!! If the car is over (Ithink 10 years old) you dont need to put it through an SVA test, there for no fog needed!! and as for the MOT\'s their saying is: if it isn\'t there we cant test it, if we cant test it we can\'t fail it!! I\'ve got a 1964 mini with out a rear fog and it has passed mot every time without it!!!

Quote from: grinderi think it looks ok

the cheaper way of fixing it - put a matching one on the other side :D

looks ok to me, matching one sounds like a plan

Thanks for all these comments, it\'s always good to other enthusiasts opinions.

I agree it\'s not 100% ideal and two days ago I was close to ripping it out but as a few of you said, maybe being a little too picky, after all it\'s not a that bad and probably only us hardcores would know the difference.

I think I may leave it for now put the money to better use, after all the car overall is beautiful and I am really please with car, in fact, I love it!!!!!!

I\'ll put some pictures up at some point in the near future.

thanks again people.

mines in the same place and i\'m not sure whether its worth the hassle of removing it

Mine\'s in the same place, but BIGGER ! It\'s horrific and an unwelcome left-over from the last owner.

I was thinking the same - remove and repair, or replace the bumper at some point and use the central brakelight mod instead. A lot of cost and hassle, but it\'s a niggling pain that I must get fixed !

I was thinking for the time being maybe I could tint the cover so it has the same smoked look as the main rear lights.

Don\'t know if this will make it look slightly better or not?

:xconfused Just to put my 2p worth regarding rear fog lights.
i have just looked this up on the police national legal database all veichles registered after 1972 (if i remember the year correctly) must have a rear fog light attached that shows red (this maybe why a 1964 mini does not need one)
i\'m not sure about MOT testing if not there they can\'t test it

ps: i don\'t like the 1 in the bumper the reversing light gets my vote
hope this helps a little :Hammer
