Is it a mk rear diffuser?

Are those indicators on mirrors staying on for iva?



Yes to both questions, SKC say they will be fine


There will be no sight of those indicators from any angle further back than the scuttle though?

If they pass IVA they must have a gentlemans agreement with the IVA tester!!!!

The wing mirror indicators, are they your front indicators or side repeaters? They should be fine as front indicators but would fail as side repeaters.

I can't answer on both points, I am in Africa right now and put it in the hands of the builder.

These are the repeaters.

Yeah they would,I presumed they were side repeaters as the MK nose cone has cut outs for front indicators.

No side repeaters on either of the arches,unless they are yet to cut the holes and fit

Yeah deffo fail if side repeaters, need to be able to view them from the rear from 5degrees to 60 degrees from the side of car.
only places you can fit them now to pass iva is on edge of rear arch or on front cycle wing.

Looks really nice

Will be interesting to see if it passes IVA at the first go.
Two things for sure should fail,fog light is not vertical,and as previously discussed the side repeaters are not visible in the angles required.
Not sure the front indicators will pass either,when you look at your pic on a angle drivers side front the front indicator is not visible.
MK have shaped parts in the moulding for them,why have they not fitted them there?

nice one.
For people that have to iva there own cars can you confirm it was tested as per the pictures you last put up?
Cause if it was its a wee take tbh and skc must get preferential treatment at there local test centre

I am only going by what I am told due to still being at work in Angola, SKC said it was fine and I trust them. Said the pictures do not reflect it to clearly but the lenses on the repeaters wrap around far enough and the lenses on the fog light were profiled to allow for the slope of the back panel.

He wasn't sure how it would go either due to it being a new tester at the station, being a VOSA station and risking there credibility I would very much doubt they would risk that for a kit car.

it's a great result for you

but the examiner obviously is either newly qualified and not the best,or a slack arse!!

Not a sniff those side repeaters are passable, not trying to be funny but its a wee take when you see some of the petty things people's cars get failed on!!!

I am using the big battery for two reasons, first being the electric reverse. Second reason is being a biker I have a nice heated jacket to wear and with the passenger maybe also wearing one I wanted a bit of an energy buffer. The 2 12v sockets on the transmission tunnel is for powering those.

Agree with the comments re indicators and fog light. No way they are a pass, and this photo proves the side repeaters arent!


Click here for photo

(Edit - it wont accept the [img] tags???)

iii. (SIDE REPEATER) To the rear between
5degree and 60degree outboard.


They dont even fulfill the outer requirement


Question this raises, what else isnt right?

Only things they are doing is the steering wheel, move the front indicators to the nose cone, fit a pair of canard fins to the nose cone ans fit my GPS mount to the dash.

As far as I know there was no cover on the exhaust.

Ah I see, each to there own , the reverse does suck a lot of power especially like me if you were reversing up a drive. The car battery will add a lot of weight tho.
I went for a reverse box this time as I had a few problems with the electric reverse .

What did the car weigh in at do you know ?

Thanks nick
