Jings ! Got SVA date - what bits to buy?
After six years of mucking about, I finally have an SVA date, on 26th march....
The cars mostly done, drives, electrics work etc
I need to buy the stuff that you don't add until SVA. So, I'm compiling a list of things-
Edging for bonnet
Edging for Triton seats
Edging for from mudguards
Edging for rear wings?? (needed)
What else is usually needed?
As above, the car is complete, these are the things that usually 'fall off' afterwards
And where is the best (quickest delivery) place to buy?

Their price for titanfast is very good, just a complete rip off for packaging & delivery to my mind, even though I still bought from them

are they the ones from the guy on here who sells the f1 kit car look a like? (cant remember the name sorry)
If so I have read that they have passed an SVA, but that they need some internal work to "kick up" in the normal UK set up - involves
rotating something inside I think.
If they aren't from him then I doubt anyone could definativly say either way until the test.

I have the high sided seats (a bit of a mistake but he was difficult to contact at the time ) and trimmed all the way round the edge . It took a bit
of thumb power to get it on and I left it in place as it actualy looks quite good and saves splinters getting in and out. Most of the rest fell off
very quickly

also check for any sharp edges on exhausts or in the footwells / boot area if uncovered
