[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 8537860, member: 4505"] Not sure where to put this, but here goes anyway! Is it a legal requirement to have body panels on a licensed vehicle on the road? The bonnet of my Land Rover has a dent in one corner where it landed after the wind blew it off. (Rusted release catch). The local body shop says they can repair it at a reasonable cost. As the experts will know, it is easy enough to remove the bonnet off a Land Rover by opening it wide and simply lifting it off. So here is the problem. If I take the bonnet off and leave it with the auto repair guy for repair, is it legally OK for me to drive it home without the bonnet? Nobody seems to know and I am pretty sure the cops will just take the easy way out and say it's illegal if I ask them! (I suppose I could claim it has only just blown off! :ROFLMAO:). Does anyone know? A legal reference would be nice, but that's maybe asking too much! [/QUOTE]
