if its like vic and you got your P's after July 1 2007, you cant do ANY performance enhancing mods. that includes exhausts, airbox, chips, etc.
lowering - you will need to ask about that one. fibreglass panels do not make the car more powerful so they are fine. |

in qld for p plates the only restrictions i know of are, no high powered cars, so nothing over 200kWs and no V8's or Turbos or Superchargers, if your car has less than 200kWs and is a v6 or four cylinder then you can do whatever mods you like. theres also no restriction on engine capacity. on your L's there is no restrictions at all, its drive whatever you like |
