The official writeup on the defect was this:

Tyres to have adequate tread
Park light globe to be replaced
Mudflap/body to cover rear wheels (he didn't like the 11.5" rears )

Engine transplant, exhaust etc were all covered by my engineering report/soundtest/emissions paperwork and he went through that with a fine tooth comb and couldn't fault it

In the end, worst officer I ever dealt with, just nailed "the idiot from the west with the hot car" for whatever he could

Guess what?... Those four tyres got me 3,500 km home to Perth

I'm home!

So what happens with a Vic issued defect now that you're home in WA? Do you just peel it off and that's that? Or do you actually need to put the GT wheels back on it to be legal treadwise and get the defect cleared through your RTA?
