Paul does that mean all newer cars after '96 wheels have to be 20mm inside the arches (or just on the citi golf are you on about). As im thinking of having wheels flush to the arches on my mk4 golf
The date is 1986, not 1996, and YES* wheels need to be at least 20mm within the bodywork.
* Based on type approval regulations, which might/might not be deemed what makes a car dangerous or not, blah blah blah, in a court case, which has never happened, which would set a precedent, which might turn out different, etc.

Not "scene" I know, but I like my cars to go around corners.
All IMHO of course.

Its a coin flip, but I reckon they're definitely illegal if they stick out. Unless its a tractor.

I.E you have window tints on the driver/passenger windows. the glass should allow 75% light though (same as windscreen) but the tint reduces this to 30% or less this would get you 3points £60 on your licence for dangerous condition.

Just put a spanner in the works, you can get your car MOT today and be ok however say tomorrow you get stopped by the police and the officer checks the car over and finds it to be in dangerous condition or anything that fails an MOT he can issue a Prohibition notice on the car which cancels the MOT and you won't be allowed to drive the car until it has been fixed, mot and Prohibition removed.

The sensible thing to do would be to choose and do modifications which don't render the car illegal. There's plenty which can be done which doesn't involve messing around with number plates or stretch tyres or sticky-out wheels etc. Like, sensible power enhancements etc. Dodgy mods just drags Mk1 Golf down to the level of a 17 year old's 1.0 litre Corsa, McDonalds car park special edition.
could'nt agree more…..
thats what ill be doing when i eventually mod a mk1…..
standard looking from the outside…..
