Yep! One obvious defect....
....they are far too neat!  
Nice job, looks IVA-friendly to me chap 
Edit: Assuming of course they are no more than 400mm in from the widest part of the car?

They failed me because the indicators were close enough to the outside edge at the front of the car, but the rear arches were a little bit wider. So
make sure you've checked the width at the rear (or whatever the widest part is).

That's why I say the widest part of the car, I have a slightly wider rear of the car than the front (not ideal I know ) and that caused me one
of those 'double-check;' moments after I put my pre-IVA pictures up .

Nice job there
Only one thought (hope 'm not the bringer of doom) have they got the correct E number markings on the lenses?

One minor thing to watch is the edge radius of the screw recess. Some people have had to fill the recess with clear silicone to get through the test.

That's a useful bit of info. Can use those old land rover lights I've had knocking around for years now

Seriously? They consider the screw holes to fail the radius test? Isn't that a little too picky?
I don't know whether it's just the camera angles, but I'm assuming they don't foul the front wheels when you're at full
steering lock?

It was my eyesight then, that's good! I guess it might drop a little more when you put your cycle wings on?
