Well done

thanks, they were keen on sharp edges on spare wheel (if you have one lol) wiper sweep and brake pipe security (only the one small pipe), and make sure all your nuts and bolts are tight as i didnt which was very dopey, after putting 25miles on the clock at a local airfield, also my fog light wasnt vertical, my testers name was P Watson, sorry dont know his first name but he was a great guy lots of experience and very helpful let me tighten the loose bolts and anything else needed, took 1.5 hours instead of the 4 hours they put aside. He didnt even check the front end sharp edges as they looked right, (lots of foam and electric insulation tape)

make sure your car is nice and clean and tidy, it will improve your chances like mine did.
if it looks well put together it often is and they like it, tinker time was when he found something wrong he let me sort there and then

hope that helps good luck. hope you get the same guy

Regards
