when does an IVA fail become a bad one?
Did it!
fails:
no documentation for emission test, would have failed anyway (4.7 CO needs to be 3.5... if I can provide the necessary documentation)
no self centering
wing mirrors are laughable (thanks robin hood!)
parking brake cannot be easily operated from seat
pedal rubbers fell off
bias bar not welded
secondary brake efficiency 26.93 - needs to be 30
parking brake efficiency 14 - needs to be 18
gear surround and gear knob not radiused
seat edges not radiused
GRP seams in footwell not radiused
(flush) alen bolts in centre of steering wheel not radiused
rear reflectors not radiused
one bonnet catch recess exceeds 5mm and not radiused
all other bonnet catch recesses not blunted
all nose cone edges and bonnet edges not radiused
VIN not stamped on RHS of chassis
Headlamp deamed to "vibrate"
side repeaters in the wrong place
Rear fog comes on with side lights
seat belt mountings sandwich the GRP with no spacers
Wiring must all be covered in some way
alloy wheels protrude and therefore fail on radius

I have seen worse,
cup of tea / or can of beer depending on your preferance.
Think how you picked the kit up and where it is know. Look at the small changes needed to make the IVA man happy.
But my main question have you fitted the DAX SVA/IVA bars ?

nothing massive though by the looks of it.
Just hours of messing with brakes and getting rid of sharp bits.
By the sounds of it you have a leathal weapon by the way it has been explained.
good luck with getting it sorted.

Sounds very similar to my first fail list..... atleast you now know exactly what must be worked on... no more guessing 
Easy enough to work through the list and fix those...
And be proud that the car only failed on stupid "cosmetic" things.... and didnt fail on aything more serious..

its quite a list but it all seems workable. just tackle them one at a time. you probably didn't expect to pass it first time anyway?
put the list up on you garage wall, have a highlighter to hand to cross them off one at a time and you'll have them done in no time. most of
them are radius issues or simple fixes like spacers which is no big deal. you'll probably find that with the breaks, a bit of bedding in will
solve the problems

the main ones in my opinion are the emissions and the wheels.
presumably i need to get it rolling roaded now and also I need some narrower wheels.

sounds like most of that list is just going to take you a little time to sort out some kind of aceptable edging etc...
so I'll stick to these bits:

have a look on the other forum:
there was some talk of lossening off the bottom balljoint
I think someone on the other forum had the handbrake lever problem, but I can't remember what they did about it
and there has been alot of discussion about side repeaters

I must have missed that one before
where is yours stamped at the moment ? (u2u me if you don't want it public)

have you got any spacers behind them ?

not to bad a fail, at least you have a list of things to do,
re the mirrors, was your centre mirror OK?
i had similar side mirror on my part built, and have changed to These
for the IVA, if you turn the mirrors around 180 on the stems, you can fit them to your existing mirror bases (one bolt through the centre hole) to
save drilling more fixing holes in the scuttle

Seems mad, but if you think about the hexagon hole the radius ball touches the edges which are sharp according to the rules. It's been
mentioned on here before as an SVA fail.
Wondering why the pedal rubbers fell off assuming they are OEM pedals and rubbers. But either grip tape from a skateboard shop or a bit of contact
adhesive should sort it.
ETA: Some of those fails must have been expected - brake bias not welded for one.
