Morning,
The other day I was defected for not having a mod plate for a top mount manifold. On the defect notice the officer wrote
Turbo installed. Needs mod plate.
also got done for being to low and he wrote
Modified suspension too low guestimate at 60mm.
With the too low fine it was the exhaust not the car itself that was at the low spot. The suspension has been changed (coil overs) but hasn't been lowered. I spent the day getting the mod plate fitted and also getting the exhaust raised up a bit.
I have to go to court to be issued the fine, but i'm thinking of challenging it as what they wrote on the fine was incorrect. It wasn't a "turbo installed" it was a manifold change. The standard turbo was top mounted. The suspension wasn't too low it was the exhaust. Giving you this amount of details is there anyone out there in intertube land that works in legal or has a intimate knowledge of legal stuff, give me any advice? Would I have a chance at challenging those fines ? I am willing to accept the too low one as it was lower then 100mm although one side of the car was parked right in the gutter but I have no photographic evidence so i'll take that one on the chin.
Any advice would be very helpful. And if this in the wrong spot can someone move it to the appropriate thread.
Cheers,
