An overwhelming result of judging them as tacky! No coalitions needed here.

I would assume so as some cars do not have 3rd brake lights.  :happy2:


Any car manufactured for sale in the EU in recent years (since 1998 maybe?) in quantities of more than 1,000 vehicles per year requires the third brake light. An MOT tester will test for the third light only if the car is meant to have one.


...and dubious legality aside, I think it's a bit tacky.

....Yep, but he asked and we're just giving honest answers. I think it's safe to say that very few indeed would be likely to sell from here at least.  :happy2:

exactly  :happy2:

something like this is over a foot long, so to post is a pita and more costly. You'd be amazed what does and doesnt sell, everyones taste is different

i look for things no-one else is doing and then fill a gap, although these items get copied within hours usually  :laugh:

some things i sell once every couple of months, other things sell multiple daily, all about balance and guesswork really

i'm a designer primarily, the vinyls are more of an offshoot so a learning curve to find whats needed/wanted/liked, once the shop is filled and finished i'll more than likely sell the business anyway  :smiley:
