As long as it is fitted by a certified fitter and you have a proof that he is so then I do not believe that the French MoT equivalent will have any objections. A certified UK fitter IS aknowledged as such within the whole of the EU territory after all.

I've seen it in action, WRT building. roughly speaking, in this country, if it's not forbidden you can do it, whereas in France, you can do it if it's allowed, ISTR.

That just about sums it up, although, as I say, there are usually enough loopholes to drive a large 4x4 through!
