Hi, hopefully you have side repeaters in addition to front indicators, I can't see any in the pics. Also you need a rear view mirror permanently fixed on the dash. You may have a few contactable edge issues. The bolt heads on the suspension and the exhaust mount brackets/bolts as they are above floor level. Good luck.

Thanks for the pointers Stuart, Mark at automotive solutions has sorted most of what you mentioned. The only contentious bit is the rear view mirror, Paul said it didn't need one and Mark rang IVA who also confirmed it wasn't required. I believe it's because the engine cover obstructs the view, therefore deemed n/a.

Yahoo, it passed!!
Big thanks go to Mark at Automotive Solutions who carried the prep work and got it through its test.
Returns home to me today, a little work required to get ready for some run outs (once the reg comes through).
Co'mon........

Must be great to take that first drive out on the open road. Did it really take nearly 2 months for your reg to come through?

It was knowing all the hard work has paid off. Yeah but part of it was theft required additional info but sent the letter to the wrong address (unknown to me), by the time I found out returned the necessary documents it did take nearly 2months.
Word of advise for future registrations, make you telephone the DVLA and get your case number ASAP, it is only suppose to take around 10days if all the correct information has been provided.
If your going for new Reg, ensure the receipts for the major components state 'supply new', and anything reconditioned ' reconditioned to as new'.
Hopefully get some pics soon and update my profile pic...

Had the Rocket on the Dyno last week, all set up now pulling right through the Rev range. 163 BHP 152 lbft torque, not bad with plenty opportunity for the future....

That's a good result.
Is that with a standard Zetec 2 litre.
Just goes to show the variance between test centres and machines. I got 141 BHP at the wheels
on a dyno last year.
