Not technically illegal - but i had mine off for 30mins before cops pulled me over.

said a woman reversed into me in a car park, and that i had dropped it off at body shop, when in actual fact, it was just sittin at home. They let me on my way.

However - be careful, coz if it is a Corsa, then the rear bumper bar has sharp edges, and this is illegal (comes under danger to pedestrians or summat), and if the cops a prick, he'll give ya an on the spot fine, fix it note + producer.

Also - if its a corsa, u wont have a rear number plate light, meaning another £30 fine and fix it note.

No mate - u MUST have a number plate light, whether its night time or not. Its a MOT requirement.

But the chances of a cop pulling you over and checkin this is slim

As i said, just explain wots happened.
