If you're using a Fiesta column / shroud, then what about getting a Fiesta wheel for IVA? Easier to source than Sierra, I'd have thought,
too

good idea, not sure if it would fit on the sierra column though.

Cracking looking car, you will need to cover the bottom bolt on the head light, i used a cable gland on mine

Brilliant build, well done.
Shouldn't the exhaust have a cover?

No. that was only in the draft IVA doc' and dropped before the final one. Just has to meet the radius requirements.
Think you'll need covers (cable glands) on the h/lamp bolts. Fiesta s/wheel should fit as the hex on the column is the same as far as I know.
However I trimmed the locking bit (toothed ring) off the back of my Sierra wheel (with angle grinder) to clear my paddle shift and it passed OK, so
you could always try that.

for the steering wheel, everyone will argue with me here, but look what it says in the manual
quote:
Steering wheel construction
It is vital that the wheel is constructed so as to minimise the risk of facial injuries or concussion. The rim of the wheel should be padded or at
least made from a material which when deformed does not splinter or fragment. The centre boss should be padded or recessed below the level
of the rim. Wheels with a very deep dish are stiffer than flatter wheels and, as such will absorb less energy.
The centre boss will often be of a collapsible type comprising a convoluted crushable section or a series of metal fingers with a deliberate fold
introduced to initiate a collapse.
Bolts used to secure the wheel to its boss (if exposed) should ideally be flush with the wheel surface but otherwise are required to meet the radius
requirements if contactable.
Bare metal spokes are allowed as long as they conform to the edge radius requirements. Components likely to catch in the driver’s clothing or
jewellery are not permitted.
Note: It is possible to fit an 'aftermarket' steering wheel which has been approved for use on any design of column. These will be
referred to as “Separate Technical Units”. If the presenter can provide satisfactory documentary evidence that this is the case, a “Separate Technical
Unit” may be acceptable.
absolutely nothing wrong with fitting a aftermarket wheel, ok, might need to write to the manufacturer which you may not have time for.
not sure what your current wheel is from. but the padding is only needed if the centre isn't recessed below the rim, which it appears to be.
have a read through the protective steering section in the manual (link below) i think it'll be fine before you start worrying about sierra
shrouds and stuff, which i see you've been doing already.
and please have a think about the carbon 'effect' stuff  a current pet hate of mine lol

lots of points have been made, take some trim for the seatbelt ends which attach to the eyebolts, mine were considered too sharp. also does the power
feed to the starter motor have a shroud or terminal cover? is your chassis number stamped in the right side?

I'd say the trim round the dash is definatly necessary and would make it look better too. Are you allowed to just tape things up? Thought it
had to look as if it was a production car.

Dash edge will have to meet the radius requiremonts. Yours looks like it won't so put some trim on. Not sure about the covers on the seat belt
hooks.

I agree with blke in principle but in practice...
"...otherwise are required to meet the radius requirements if contactable..."
Few aftermarket wheels have radii large enough on the spokes to pass.
"...Components likely to catch in the driver’s clothing or jewellery are not permitted..."
That means no slots, so rules out a lot more wheels.
"...If the presenter can provide satisfactory documentary evidence that this is the case..."
Define satisfactory.
Testers tend to err on the side of caution and that oftn leads to them failing aftermarket wheels and home made centre pads.

n/p sierra wheel now in place. its a joke because the tester knows you are going to sling the sierra wheel the minute you get home. look at the size
of it!

Are you working these suggested fixes in real-time?? 
I think your seat-belt hook covers should be ok - they look the same as Dax supply for just the same job - although I didn't use them myself, as
I went through IVA with bolt-in belts.

Yep, it's bonkers. That big wheel will help with the exempt area 
How much do the clocks protrude as, unless they fall within the "exempt area " around the wheel (diameter of the wheel +127mm) they may
need to be radiused where they protrude from the dash. Does that trim on the dash make it impossible for a 10mm ball to contact the edge; It'll
need to to pass?
Fast work though. Don't think I've seen alterations done so quick after comments.

difficult to tell but I think only the far left one is outside the exempt area. Cut a ring of rubber to sit around itmaybe?
