They’re a modification through the OBD port. It changes how the indicator lights on the car behave. It’s basically a “poor man’s Audi scrolling indicator” where the two segments of the indicator will flash in sequence rather than together. I personally don’t like it but a lot of the OBD mods are down to individual taste!

Are those legal in the UK (or the EU) and would you get an instant MOT failure ?
They're 120% illegal, you could be pulled over never mind the MOT 😂🤣
So are these dodgy spaced license plates but the police never bother with them. They’re everywhere these days so obviously it’s very low risk.
I suppose the way cars are going these days no one would realise the tail lights are changed, including the police?
The Mot would pick up on it though , especially here in Northern Ireland. Our MOT's are done in government run centres.
I agree with you on the number plates, dodgy spacing, fonts & number/letter sizing.
The PSNI over here are known to pull you for a dodgy number plate the odd time.
Another craze over here at the minute are coloured windscreen tints, they look absolutely crap.
I've just realised we've kind of gate crashed @doggy's personal mod update thread 🙈
Sorry @doggy .
No worries!
I've configured the Urban Joke for a while now and I've had a couple of times a police car behind me at a traffic light while waiting to turn (In NL and in Germany) and they didn't bother.
Well.. there was one more thing I could do, and I did... 😂
I replaced the stock suspension and the eibach springs for a set of KW Variant 1 coilovers. Then after configuring it at a bit lower height for a few weeks, I dropped the rear suspension completely and aligned the front with it (the front could go lower but it would be way too much).
So now Clementine looks like this:
And I went with it to an all cars event in Belgium where it got awarded as one of the top 3 in the "OEM+" group.
I'm still experimenting with the current height as the T-Roc is no longer a compact crossover SUV. It is as low as a Passat / Golf (and then a bit lower than those even).
Probably once the events season is over, I will get it up by 1-2 cm so that it can still be driven without fear.
I would actually have liked my car to ride higher than it does 🤷♂️
What about doing something with the wheel arches, colour code them with the bodywork?
Has been done on here in indium grey but it's not that noticeable because it's grey.

I was thinking of air so that I can go up and down as required but I would lose even more space from the boot (Which is already small).
Now for the arches, I am thinking either body colour or black gloss to match the maxton design. I will think about it in the future.
Before that is done I'll probably do some interior upholstery stuff... but first I need to finish with the 6N which is being worked on since February to get a custom gearbox in it; the mechanic is attempting to fit a Golf MK3 VR6 gearbox on a Polo 6N engine.
I never liked the black edition in the audi Q3 with the gloss black wheel arches but each to their own.
Gives the impression of larger wheel arches 🤔
A few of the current SUV's come with colour coded wheel arches now.

The lines don't seem to work in at the front wheel arches & possibly the rear?
The orange would run down below the black sill & front lip line unless you do a masking tape straight line.

The black edition comes with a graphic stuck on, maybe other colours will become available?
The car colour was something that I considered too but now with the gloss black sideskirts I'm thinking either gloss black (which I'm not a fan of either) or to leave them as they are.
I think I will leave the arches as they are.
you were right indeed.
I haven't seen any other colours to be coming, and I don't know if that would be smart for them to do.
If I understand you correctly, you mean about having different roof + pillar colour options?
The rear pillar that is the same colour as the car. I done yours black!The car colour was something that I considered too but now with the gloss black sideskirts I'm thinking either gloss black (which I'm not a fan of either) or to leave them as they are.

The black edition comes with a dark graphic that sticks over it.
Whatever you do or don't, it will look well 👌
Are you serious, or joking 🤔😂delete this please
Delete my reply with the photos?
Gotcha. If I'll touch something that would be the fender arches and make them black gloss.
Lol, I meant that message itself because I accidentally double-posted
