I know of at least one car that has passed SVA with them.
I'll let you know.

hi there, i must say the car looks excellent, but i must agree with triton, will the headlights pass SVA? they look like those motorbike headlights? dont they only dip down and not down to the left?

Good Luck with SVA





I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Unless the lenses have changed since 2005 they will not pass SVA as they are.

Nice motor...

Looks VERY smart - it's about time we had a few more cars to the Essex/Suffolk meetings (when we have them...)

cheers,
David

Looks good!

Just one thing, are you going to cover the boot\rear area as I know some people have had problems when they haven't had it covered.

Also do the front indicators need extensions on them?

Apart from that looks really nice.

Rich.

Well spotted the front indicators are just on the 400mm limit and I made up some longer extensions at work meaning to fit them this w-end.
Unfortunately I left them there. It will be done this week.
The rear will have a cover over it for SVA. Probably a vinyl one.

Hellfire I hear what you say about the headlights but I know of a car that has definately passed SVA with them.
The car was taken to the test centre with the lights as supplied and the tester said they would fail so he and the owner turned the lenses in the housing until the tester was satisfied. I have measured the angle that the lenses were rotated and turned mine the same ammount and cut a second notch in the surround so that they can't move. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

Hi,
I'd be very interested in the details of how to get these headlights through SVA too since I bought a set from GTS a while back under the impression that they were SVA compatible.

Good luck!
Craig.
