After reading through some of the infomation on your website, Im back again with more Bosozoku styled questions, this time based around bodykits. "(iv) there is no effect on the forward visibility from the passenger compartment;" Question 1: Are you aloud to block your rear view with a massive spoiler? "(iii) no sharp edges project toward the front of the vehicle as a result;" Im unsure what the limit would be on having a bodykit that sticks out under this definition. Question 2: Could you have a front lip that sticks out a meter past the front bumper as long as it is not sharp? ignoring the uncertifiable aspects of these examples, Just looking at the large front lips. Any infomation you could provide would be helpfull and lastly Question 3: Is there a limit on how wide you can extend a car. The cars in the above example pictures have been widened and flared to alow wide wheels to be used and to achieve that specific style. Thanks again Mike.

Hi Mike Question 1: Are you aloud to block your rear view with a massive spoiler? Answer: Yes, although a 'massive' spoiler may introduce other compliance issues (external projections etc) Question 2: Could you have a front lip that sticks out a meter past the front bumper as long as it is not sharp? Answer: No. General safety requirements don't allow for this; 2.2(2) All low volume vehicles, except those specified in section 3, must comply with the following general safety requirements: (a) ornamental objects and fittings must not protrude from the motor vehicle if they could injure any person. Question 3: Is there a limit on how wide you can extend a car. The cars in the above example pictures have been widened and flared to alow wide wheels to be used and to achieve that specific style. Answer: Yes. These limits are set out in the Land Transport Rules ( www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/rules/vehicle-dimensions-and-mass-2002-index.html ). Along with this you'll need to consider the wheel offsets of hubs, wheel bearing loads etc. ( www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Wheels_&_Tyres.pdf ) Cheers, Justin
