Simply put it all comes down to the Australian Design Rules. In summary due to the weight of the M3W it becomes classed as a car and therefore has to have various items (or not!).
Since it became a car, the windscreens then must have wipers, washers and demisters. Clearly not practical so they were replaced by "wind deflectors". These must be non-reflective.
Similar issues with the growth at the front of the car.
Some of the mods required for the rules make sense to me, the headrests in the roll loops, higher level brake light (despite it obscuring the rear view mirror).
So the rules are one thing. The ugliness of the finished product is another.
That said I am sure you could remove most of the mods and the local authorities once registered would be highly unlikely to ever know/pick up on this. But your insurance.....
