dunk3 - 9/10/09 at 07:34 AM

Hi all, has anyone taken a MK INDY for the IVA test with side pannels open at the front suspension area, and had any problems, as i was told they now have to be fully enclosed. Rescued attachment braided brake pipe fitted 1.jpg

Is that not going to let mucho cr*p into the engine bay though?

Wouldn't it though let more air as well?

thats how mine are it passed sva with edge trim on the panel dont know if any different now. it doesnt let much dirt in and its been used in some fairly horid weather

I've seen plenty like this but as for passing IVA not sure but dont see what the problem would be providing no shap edges.

Good point, well presented

I think you might have a problem.

In IVA they limit how much lurid green paint you are allowed as you may inadvertently dazzle a pedestrian as you run them over.

Seriously though so long as edges and protrusions are protected it shouln't be an issue.

just being reading the IVA manual chapter 16 Exterior Projections i hope ive read it wrong.

Is it the weird camera angle or is that braided hose toooo short?

think it should be fine.
ariel atom for example

Thats what i thought, though it might be just the camera angle but if its not there is no way you'll get full left lock

Looks like the panel is fouling the trailing edge of the lower arm aswell..

Hi all, the side pannel is not fitted its just a trial fit to use as a example to explain the question better, sorry for the confusion,
