Good news : This is for certification only and can be
taken off once I have it OK'ed. Strange but true.

Best regards,

Kees

Kees, take a deep breath and try to forget this horrible image - like you already mentioned, Austrian Prowler told me in detail the scrutiny he had to go thru in order to receive his 'registration' for Austria !

THAT IS UNREAL to say the least !!What a ridiculous act on part of the authorities !

Hang in in there Kees - just don't pi$$ them off or they'll give you more hassles !

DAMN !

Looks like you are getting close to taking her home!

(headlights are covered with grey tape, they do not have
an E-mark which means certified for European use and thus
are not certified and cannot be used for the tests. Also
the lights are taped to the fender so I can take it off
with ease)
Not as bad as the 'Kentucky certification' above but still
very close.

And I do agree with Dusti that it is better not to p.....
authorities off until this process is over. I think
it's universal all over the globe.

usually they should be not a big difference in Car Registration between Europe States.
I had not to change a lot on the Prowler.
We dont have to change the front lights. ( Ausnahmegenehmigung Abblendlicht)

I can send you a points what has to be done.
If nessesary a mail you a copy of the EU-BRD Title.

Used all the forms from your CD including the ausnahme-
genemigung but it didn't help with this inspector.
Nevertheless I just got confirmation that it has past TUV
compliance now the only thing that needs to be done is get
it through a minor certification in The Netherlands and I'm
done.

O.K., to be serious:
Before seeing your pics I thought Austria have the stupidest authorities. Now I am not sure anylonger.
Also in Austria the German "Ausnahmegenehmigung Abblendlich" was not accepted. So I have to put the smallest available frontlights with E-proofsign on my frontbumpers. The low beams I had to dismantle from the headlights. The high beams could remain in the original headlights without E-proofsign. Also the orange parklights (in the turnsignals) I had to change to white beams. The front turnsignals have to beam at the same times like the sidepanel lights and not changeable like original.
I think I showed you my frontpic in another topic.

On the backside your Inca-Lady should look like my Mulholland.

I don´t understand our authorities, that we have to do these "monstermods", because everyone there knows that the next day we take these mods off. But what should I say, if they like this way .....

Kees, hold out! I can tell ya, it is worth every minute to fight with the registration authorities, because your Prowler will give you so much fun back!!! Now you are nearly before the fun can start, ..... but damned it is winter in Europe. O.K. you Dutch-guys don´t have so much snow, like we have in Austria.
