Far too clean!!!
Tie wrap bases for battery wires stuck on with sticky foam pad, I think they need to be "permantly" fixed. Either riveted or I used PU
adhesive which was OK.
Cycle wing rear edge needs to be below the level of the wheel centre. Take some home made mud flaps to stick on if he spots this. My tester
didn't spot it on mine.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

It will need some edge trim around the harness triangles.
Steering wheel pad?
Is the shock adjuster sharp?
Can he get his ball on the cap head holding on the exhaust, or the sharp looking ally plate (Exhaust1)
They might not like the (pipe foam) on the bottom of the headlights as it looks a bit temporary.
Other than that looks a nice neat job.

I'm not trying to pick an argument but I think the actual requirement is that when viewed from above, the tyre must be covered by the trailing
edge of the cycle wing. I evaluated mine simply by putting the car on level ground and bringing my large square up against the back of the tyre. If it
touched the tyre before arch then it is a fail, if it touches the arch before tyre then it's a pass.
As for the front edge of the cycle wing, it needs to cover the wheel (not tyre) when viewed from above.
That's my understanding but of course if you do what you have suggested then by definition you will have satisfied the criterion above. From
your pics I think you'll be fine.
I agree that your harness upper triangles will need edge trim - I used the thin plastic edging normally used for sheet metal edges. It expands up to
fit the harnesses and with a small amount of super glue will stay in place.
I also agree that the grey foam on the suspension upper balljoint and under the headlight mount looks temporary. I would wrap this in self
amalgamating tape rather than using tie-wraps. Don't use insulating tape though, must be self amalg.
Cheers,
Craig.

AFAIK the mudguard only has to cover the RIM in plan view.

I would watch out for the mirror falling off at an inopportune moment.
I have the same one on my windscreen at the bottom, and every few weeks it decides it has had enough and throws itself into the passenger footwell

The width of the mudguard must cover the tyre (including sidewalls) in plan view - I had a few mm of sidewall visible and had to
'adjust' the stays to comply.
The leading edge of the mudguard must be forward of the rim.
Not sure about the back edge (re. above/below axle)

Looks very tidy.
Just a couple of things...
Edge trim on harness ends. I used small edge trim and tucked the ends in under the belt loop.
Pipe insulation on front suspention. Think someone tried this last week and failed.

Foam and cable ties on the suspension may not be "permanent" enough.
Are the front indicators high enough, close enough to the outside edge and visible from the required angles?

Nice car.
For our shocks I cut up a old inner tube into one inch strips about 9 inches long.
One end i stuck with evostick to the top of the shock and then progressivly wound round gluing to itself and managed to cover all the sharp bits at
top and then did the same in the other 3 places on both shocks.
For the top ball joint i used a cable gland cat at both ends, stretched over the threaded bit and the wishbone, held it self all this time to stop
water getting in.
Good luck
