very nice but erm, why's there a number plate on it?

Looks a real top quality build,well done,love the wheels

Looks really really good, love the interior - not sure about the wheels but thats just my personal opinion!

Blimey you've got a long way since I last spoke to you! I'll have to come over for a visit! Well done

IVA? Its registered??? Confused

oh - and I love the interior, not my style, but I really like it all the same.

Greg, that is looking the business

I will pop up and see you, just been really busy

Looks very smart. Another vote for the interior.

just to clear this up i borrowed an old number plate off my brother to get an idea for the lights and reflectors just havent got round to taking it off so its not registered or IVA'd yet.

Yep Hobzy and Dave just let me know if you ever want to pop up more than welcome anytime!

Thanks all for the kind comments

Very nice, I really like it. You gonna post pictures just prior to IVA as there's a couple of things there you might not have noticed. The reflectors at the back for one will fail. If you don't mind me mentioning.

Not at all would rather know in advance, can you say why the reflectors would fail?

If you notice anything else please say that goes for anyone, would rather sort the silly things in advance i know theres a few temporary things like the harness mountings but any criticism will be taken in the right way

---

I seem to recall at SVA the reflectors had to be within a certain distance of the outside edge of the car?


Is your fog light Vertical. Again I at SVA it would be a fail if it was not total vertical.

Thanks Stuart hopefully we will be able to meet up somewhen soon in the kits.

ok so my spacings are wrong on the reflectors easily sorted i suppose could they go above the lights on the arches or below might look better if theres room?

The centre light is fog with chrome outer ring

Thanks again

Oh, and your side indicators will fail too !

BTW: are those indicator buttons on your steering wheel and what type of steering wheel is it ?

The reflector edges don't have the required radius. That is of course unless you have them in plastic holders that I can't see.
I had the exact same ones and they were pointd straight out by the inspector.
Oh and the mirror mounting base is the same that Gav had and got picked up on.

[Edited on 28/2/10 by mistergrumpy]

Do you mean the rear view mirror, did it fail on radius? if so i what did Gav do if he has solved the problem already has he covered it or bought a new mirror? thanks again

Yeah the rear view mirror footplate that the screws go through. He stuck some rubber trim around the edges of it.

Looks really good..... but I´m not a big fan of the wheels... but thats me

very nice...............

Very nice. I really like the rear lights and the interior/exterior colour combination.
