Looking good Tom.

I would post some pictures of mine, however its not off the axle stands yet and I still have a few more things to do. Paper work got sent off today for SVA, so now the nail bitting begins. Hopefully by next weekend it/she will be off the axle stands, more or less complete apart from SVA preping and I shall be able to drive her out of the garage for the first time and some pictures will be taken and posted then.

Looks good... Check the back lower edge of the front mudguards are below the centre line of the axle. Its a SVA fail.
Fit some rubber mudflaps if they are above the centre line. Its quicker and pretier than refitting the mudguards.

Good Luck with the SVA.

"Check the back lower edge of the front mudguards are below the centre line of the axle. Its a SVA fail."

I understood that the only requirement is for the mudguard to cover the RIM when viewed from above.

Absolutely - I've never heard of the back edge rule?

looks really nice, I bet that colour looks fantastic in the sun!

I only had to extend my front arches at the front (i fitted them when i had 15" wheels on), the backs were fine at my test.

Looks good mate, Looks good with the film on.

iv never heard if the back edge rule either. I know the front edge must be further forward than the rim.
