Good luck

Over the past few months it seems most are failing on emissions and noise (including me) so make sure your engines purring like a kitten

Take a load of pictures, and post them in the SVA section. Especially round the front suspension and steering area.
Also all other parts of the car.

People will pick holes (SVA wise) in it. At least it will give you a leg up, and help prevent failing on silly things.

You shouldnt have much of a propblem with noise, those are the same silencers as mine and they are quite quiet.

It will be the daft things like the mirrors or sharp edges. or the brake ballance (Make sure the fronts lock up before the rears is the best you can do without a brake tester).

Also take all your spare plastic piping and edging, as if its very minor, they "go for a cup of tea" and whilst you cant officially repair / modify / alter the car, what they dont see you do they dont know about.

They are usually very good and helpful.

If you want I can pop over and take a butchers.

Good luck.
