I think as the car was manufactured after 1985 you are required to have side repeaters. This is why some S1's have them and some don't IIRC

If the police were picky they could do you under the Construction & Use act (I think it's called ) In all honesty mate I would be inclined to say leave em be and just fit red coloured repeaters so they don't stand out so much.
