Sorry mate, I had to re--read that as the first time I thought that you were referring to "Readers Own"-type pornographic material. 
What a difference a capital letter here and there makes! Nice looking car by the way.

Wheels look really good.
Bit of an odd one but what size are your headlights?

Tidy looking build...
Do all your SVA-type stuff and stick some closeups in the SVA/Legal section, that way people can offer recent/relevant advice. There are a few things
to point out ATM, but they are stuff you prob already know...
All the best and good luck on the 24th

Very nice but your bonnet is a different shade of blue to the rest of your car 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Those front indicators do not look to fall within the 400mm from outer edge. Or maybe they are... can't tell.

And don't forget nut covers on the top harness bolts.
Looks nice though.

thanks for the comments guys
TimC - A dirty mind is all it takes
SyKaTurbo - The headlights are 7"
worX- wat things have you spotted....just incase we've missed anything
MikeR - the body work is all Mk...the wings nose & scuttle are very early moulds tho....ive had the car over 4 years
the bonnet and rear panel are newer Mk moulds...hense the different colours
BenB - The wheels are a tad on the big size.....and also a bit to heavy for my liking.....but they were donated by a friend to save me forkin out for
new wheels and tyres on an already tight budget this month.
Hellfire - we checked and they are within the 400mm.
thanks again for the kinds comments

Looks good Patrick. I'm sure it'll be fine. If all go's as planned perhaps I'll be up to see it on friday.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Hi again Patrick,
It is hard to tell from your phots but the first couple of things that I noticed are:
Grille
Center Mirror
Indicators
Front suspension
grille - Can't tell tfrom the photos, but is it made from round bar? If not, it may need some wiring conduit placed so "he"
can't get his stainless ball into it.
Center mirror - looks like it would fail on exterior projections
Indicators, As Hellfire said they do look alittle close to fitting within the furthest ecterior projection (often the REAR arches)
ALL your front suspension needs to ne given the SVA treatment...
Obviously, all the above is based on your relatively small photos and I could be (VERY) wrong on them all, or have mentioned stuff that you already
know about!
So, all the best,
Steve
