Calling US-spec C5 'Vette owners in UK!
I'm bringing over my '02 Z06, and I'm wondering what it'll take to make it legal. I'm already bringing over tires for the rear, and I know it'll pass emissions (it can pass Cali emission standards).
What particular mods should I do (lighting, lenses, etc) to make it be able to pass MOT?

To be "legal", your car must have turn signal lights at the back that is colored amber, rear fog light, side repeaters (blinkers at the side), DRLs that is white color and of course must pass emissions, CO2 and noise emissions.

Where about in UK do you live? There are a couple of places I know would pass MOT because you own an American car.

Is there also a kit for a rear fog light? I don't want some light just tacked onto the car.

For the rear fog light, the auto parts stores sell them too. You can splice it up to your fog light switch or make your own on/off switch. Pretty simple, IMO however I bypassed all of that and found a friendly MOT to do mine without doing all of those BS.
Another option on this is to drill a whole through your back up lights and install a red bulb or hack up your back up light, switch the clear bulb to a red bulb and run a on/off switch.

Bene, thanks for the advice.
For all those who're planning on modding a C5 Corvette to UK standards, here's a write-up from another C5Z owner.
