Kick-*** mods but illegal on our roads
Have a look on that FD "Mazdaspeed GTC" which belongs to a friend of mine:

There were blown TONS of $ into that car. Nevertheless he won't be able to drive it on our streets, because he can't apply for a license plate.

Swiss federal laws...

Any pity appreciated...

cheers

It's Sunburst Yellow (JDM colour 1998 or 1999 I think).

Whats so illegal? The aero parts? I mean besides a Radiator and a air filter kit, not much under the hood.

Nice ride dont get me wrong.

On thing where did you get the 96+spec tail lamps (look fake) No thats nothing bad, but I have seen a lot of the fakes reflect a little and the real ones dont, I dont mean the clear plastic, I mean the black plastic.

Lots of US parts on a US FD. Dont you drive on the left side over there?

Pretty clean. Not a BIG fan of the wing, but it seems to flow pretty nice on the car. Great pics!

Exactly, not much under the hood.

Like no air pump.

HUH? So your saying he cant plate the car because of an AIRPUMP? WOW thats deep....

How long does an airpump take to put on?1hr?

Im not cracking on the guy at all. We have LAWS too ESPECIALLY when you want to register/plate a car for the first time. I have to put my airpump/cat/emissions, raise it etc..... But Im not going to say I can never drive it.

Im just curious of this law......

That car would be illegal in lots of places, don't let it stop you from driving it haha. And as far as the spoiler goes, everyone has their own taste, I think it goes well with the rest of the body.

NICE CAR!
