Looks good there mate!
Looks like you've got all the edges covered. Not sure the tester will consider the treatment on the silencer "permanent".
Any photo's under the bonnet?

Lookimg good.
You might have to extend the seat belt anchorages. They put a spirit level on mine to make sure they were higher than the holes in the seats.
Otherwise the seat has to be structural. Extended bolts aren't ideal in my opinion but will pass SVA.
Have you got an SVA date?

I set the seat belts up so when im sitting in the car they dont touch the holes through the seat. I will have to see what they say at the sva. 
SVA is on friday!!!

My tester checked mine as said and then 2 other testers asked him if he'd checked them later as they walked by, so I'm pretty sure they
have to be higher than the holes. Your height is irrelevent (to them).
Are the radius' on your fuel cap OK?

Looks very nice indeed. The only i can see is the seat belt points. I think they will need to be higher. They arnt supposed to be mounted so they
pull down on your shoulders in a crash which they look like they will..
Mine are the same as yours and are too low although i dont have the holes in the seats.
My thread here might be of use.
Im not sure they class the heat wrap as a permanent fixture on the silencer.
Looks a very fine car..

I had front indicators that looked like yours, the tester immediately said they were'nt bright enough, but was then helpful enough to say that
it was because there was no reflector inside. I cut some reflectors out of a cheap torch and they then were passed as OK.

Is the rear fog light high enough with a full tank of fuel and the springs settled?
Otherwise very tidy looking. btw, where did you hide the battery?

Fog light seem pretty vertical and should be the right hight but i will check.
The cat come from Tiger sportscars and the battery is mounted on a plate near the steering rack.
Seatbelts could be a problem. Will have to have a look at what i can do about it.
Front indicators have passed a SVA before.

Got any ideas on how to radius the fuel cap?

You can get round the seatbelt's in the seat holes thing by bringing the belts around the side of the seats and not through the holes in the
seats.
My tester let me do this on the day.

For the seat belt anchor use longer bolts and tubes under the belt end.
For the fuel cap you could cut a rectangle of MDF the same thickness as the cap and with a hole in it just bigger than the cap. Radius the outer edges
and cover with the same as the boot cover. Then screw it down with the screws you've already got in the boot cover so the cap is flush.
Of course both these things might fall off after SVA. ;-)

I take it that the instrument cover is, er, designed to fall off shortly after the test!!!!! Re the inboard front wishbone brackets, is it sufficient
to cover just the top with edging and leave the curved bit uncovered? Nice pictures that have given me some pointers as I am not that far off SVA
myself.

just make sure you take some spare trim super glue and nut covers. If I remember correcly there is a measurement from the seat base to the top of the
belt mounting points I remember the tester measuring this.

Nice neat build Matt,my seats are very similar to yours but are not mounted as high in the car.I had no problem with my harness mounts as they pass
through the seat an drop down,where yours go up.I love the satin black wings mate!!!
