    How do you go on with minimum radius requirements with the spats fitted? They look quite sharp at the outer edge.
    The split rim wheels don't look to stick out as far as Skelly's coffin spokes did, a narrower rim maybe? This car doesn't look like it needs anywhere near the full spat, Alan's looked better once they were blended into the arches & painted over.
    The mirrors will certainly meet the visibility requirements although I can't see the radii on the bases.
    The rear bonnet pins would fail at Nottingham IVA for sure
    I can't see what you have around the upper window frame, have you any other shots which would help show other builders the problem areas you have encountered on the builds you have done?

    The spats were rounded, photo does not show that.
    Mirrors were correctly radiused, but they look horrible, replaced after test....
    Rear bonnet pins fitted by previous owner, removed for test for the same reasons.
    Correct CE markings on side windows are hidden when fitted. Examiner was happy with build photos to show, without dismantling.
    Beta boot lid lock too sharp, requires radiusing or fit later.
    A lot is down to interpretation.
