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

Ok still not sure whats best to do with the side repeaters have read others have put them on the side of the front arch think this is what ill be
doing.
yes mate your right the buttons are used for the indicators heres a link for a site that sells steering wheel
here
I did have to buy some new buttons as the ones supplied are for a horn and are not latching but bought some latching switches off ebay for a few quid
and replaced them jobs a goodun!

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.
