SVA Pass today at Bristol
Yipeee.
I know it is nearly six months since I failed it first time round, but the wife has had me building big stuff, like an extension. So my 6 months
period to get the retest was going to run out this month and today she went through
So come on the summer !

How come you are running different wheels on the back?
Did your larger wheels rub on the arches?

Yes i did.
Filler and fibre glass. Hard work , but worth it i feel. Getting both wings the same was the tricky bit.

different wheels were for the test only
The ones i will be fitting protrude by 2mm from the bottom of the arch, so i thought better safe than sorry for the sva. Needless to say, TSW's
fitted all round now

Good Job.
Just out of interest, did you have a cover on the boot for the test? If not did they check inside for radii etc.

No, No cover on the boot and they did not check for radius's. The only check they would do on the boot was if it was designed to be a boot, i.e.
carry something in it, I think then they need it loaded for weight tests. Mine is just open, no cover / lid , so you can see straight down to the
ground below.

Very Nice.
I like the light in the rear fender !
Can you tell me witch colour you sprayed you're car in ? I was thinking to spray mine in "Peugot island gray", but I like
you're colour also.
Thanks

Hi there,
Yes , having the back open was no problem for the SVA. If i had a boot box fitted they said they would have wanted it loaded ??.
The colour i sprayed the car is "gregio titanio " which is Ferrari grey titanium to you and me !.
Sounds expensive but isnt if you get it mixed at your local paint shop.
