as long as it aint dangerous should have no probs

ven tho ive no wipers/washers etc? obviously they would be pretty useless

well there aint much for them to wipe really. Only like a motorbike, might wanna go for a spin in a car with them first as they aint for everyone and you'll need a helmet too

You don't havw to have wipers/demist etc. as long as the aeroscreen doesn't obscure your vision of the road.

Look at the Westfield version or fluke motorsport as two examples of aeroscreens that should pass SVA/MOT (as long as there's no sharp edges)

You'll probably have to remove the wipers though as most mot rules are if they are there they have to work.

Wipers won't work if there is no screen for them to wipe so I'd say it'd fail.

If you remove the screen, wipers, stalk and washers it should pass no problems.
