two very minor pints that maybe could be optimised.
if the exhaust pointed down rather than out, the noise test should be easier.
and the hand brake appears to come up quite a long way.

Very Nice looking car!

Looks really nice,the orange looks well bright!

If you are looking for IVA tips the locking nut on the transit drop link needs covering,and pretty sure the nut and the tube on the bottom of the headlight will need some sort of covering too.
And Presuming you've got a cat built into your silencer?

Unfortunately the brackets are welded in such a way the exhaust can only sit like this, however I've managed to get it down to 97dba.
I will look at the handbrake this week, it does need tweaking.
I have covers for the drag links and headlights.
Thankfully the silencer has an inbuilt CAT.

Thanks for the input Gents - please feel free to add anything else you see.

Looks good!

Best of luck with the inspection - remember, don't be afraid, in my experience they want you to get through it

looks very good, colour scheme spot on, but I should say that

2 points from me, your reverse and fog lights and front suspension.

I had those lights on my robin hood when I SVAd it and I was told that the black edge where the lens goes into was a sharp edge.. I can't tell in the photo, but make sure you have radiused them. I put some silicone round for my retest, but it was wet when I did it and was rubbish. the tester thankfully just got his radius tool out and scraped it round and said that's fine.

I'm not sure what you have to do for IVA, but the ball can come in from the front. So your front suspension is in question. Again photo doesn't tell well enough if you have covered it all up, so you prob have

good luck with the test !

Thanks Chris - I have put a radius on nearly everything I can imagine...
The Big day is tomorrow, I'm hoping the rain holds off.
