Hi all,

I'm in the process of attaching some bodywork, and was just wondering if there are any additional concerns to be aware of regarding IVA etc with the side panels if I decide to cut them short for easier fitting like in the below picture. I would prefer the look of keeping them long and cutting out suspension holes etc but I prefer to cut them short for ease of access, maintenance, replacement. I will probably keep the pieces I cut off so I could always add these superately later if I really do want to cover up the hole but so far I'm not too bothered. I understand I might have to put some rubber trim along the leading edge of the fiberglass even if that's just to protect it/make it neater.

Thank you all

just make sure your sharp edges are covered.

It's a long time since I made my car for sva but when Iva came in you had to have long sides up to the nose cone
Unless some one knows different

Thank you for the replies all, I think I might do it in two parts - I'll cut them short but save the end and then cut holes/fit the suspension through at a later date if required, thanks all
