Is it legal to drive a car in this condition?

[grussell]

Not a 'problem' per se, but is it legal to drive this car without a front wing? Everything else is fine.

It has a current MOT and is Taxed and insured.

See picture:

i would say not

[fleetstreet]

why do you want to run round without a wing

[grussell]

No, I don't want to run around without a wing I am just wondering if I can use the car while I am awaiting delivery of the correct body panel.

There must be no dangerous sharp edges or projections caused by corrosion or damage

and

Any accident damage can be permissable providing that there are no sharp edges protruding and that any damage has not affected the structural integrity of the car.

....so says the MOT test.

So a bit of a grey area, but I'd avoid using the car if possible without the wing in place.

It was on TV some time ago, that police stopped a person driving a car with damaged front end. Their argument was that should this car hit a pedestrian, the caused injury would be more severe than with a normal car. The police have their own performance metrics, therefore, they will get the maximum out of it. Don't take risks!
