I don't know the cost as I haven't had any done, but the eyebrow height is the height from the centre of the rim to the edge of the guard. Because the fibreglass guards have a different edge position that is why they need to be engineered.

i have heard of this a few time

people can get things engineered but still been sent to regency

the popo said "you could have modified it after it got engineers approval"

which to me is just plain bullsh*t but had a mate go through regency even with engineers certificate of approval

In a cops defence, if he hasn't received necessary training, he is better off sending it to get checked than him ok it himself, then the driver hits a pedestrian and a fibreglass shard kills them, or something else. Refer to defect thread for more discussion. But i do agree that if you carry the necessary paperwork, you should be ok. Mind you, there is little evidence you can show to prove you haven't tampered with it after the engineer has certified it.

No thats true... but cops are finding you GULITY until you can prove yourself INNOCENT...

Isnt it meant to be the other way around??

In that case, i believe that if you were to be defected for the ADR approved bonnet, and that only, the regency fee will be waived, as long as it does comply with ADR's. However, regency might comment on your low ride height or loud exhaust, which you will have to fix and return, at a fee....

Sorry, don't wanna turn this into another defect thread.

your pretty much on the right track there damo

i think that if you do have everything engineered and then get picked on

then the inspection fee should be waived and you would therefore be compensated for your troubles

This topic has been covered 1,000 times before. Please use the search function instead of making a new useless post. Or better still, download the SA/ADR rules and find out for yourself, or even better yet ring Regency and ask them yourself. Don't rely on 2nd hand information is my advice.

regency will only approve of engineers certificates from a couple specific places, otherwise they can reject it. i cant remember which those are so ring em up and find out.

they can try, but they can't do it legally; all it needs is a court case to prove that.

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
