Chris1992 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi guys, so my we've just taken our supra for it's MOT, and they've failed it due to lack of side repeaters on the fron wings. The car is a 98 facelift jspec TT6, which I was pretty sure didn't have side repeaters anyway? The car certainly doesn't have them anyway, nor any holes where they would have fitted? It's also worth mentioning that the same garage passed the car a year ago, so that doesn't make any sense either. So can anyone shed some light on the subject? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Taking the mick. If someone were to bring and register a US spec, they wouldnt need to fit front wing indicators, so why for a jspec? They can be seen at all angles of the car. Had 2 different MOT places check mine, no problem. Pulled by police, tyre and light checks, no problems.

Chris1992 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 So is that correct that Jspec cars never had side repeaters anyway? As I know that UK spec cars did. Can we just take it back and tell them they're wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13mgr Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Facelift cars have the side repeaters in the front bumper. I'm guessing the mot tester thinks that you've smoothed the wings erasing the pre facelift ones Edited July 31, 2017 by X13mgr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1992 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Wait so jspec cars did have side repeaters? I've seen picks of them in the wings and in the bumper, but our car has neither, I just assumed they were facelift and prefacelift locations for UK cars. Can anyone tell me for sure? Will be a shame to cut holes in the bumpers if I don't need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have a jspec facelift and it has side repeaters in the bumper.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Uk, prefacelift jdms had indicators in the wings/ fenders US, facelift jdm had side markers in the front bumpers. So you have none in the wings or bumper?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13mgr Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Is yours the same as mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Yours are in the bumper, like its been said.. the facelifts didn't have them in the wings. The mot guy is obviously a helmut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume in this case a prefacelift bumper has been fitted. Looks like we'll have to fit some! I just hope the wiring is still there in the bumper...

X13mgr Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 That's what I was thinking. I bet you have a pre facelift bumper on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I retract my previous statement then, the previous owner is the helmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1992 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 God damn it. It looks so good without them! Can't be helped I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Pre-facelift are the front wings. Facelift are the front bumper. Either none means they have been removed, meaning find a friendly MOT just like all other Supra's that fail due to emissions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike33 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You should find like my old 94 areotop I put side repeaters on the side as i wanted it to look a complete facelift model! When I took the bumper off it had the markings in the the bumper of where the holes should go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
