well after solid weekends it scince the new year i have a car which looks like a car and is almost functional (brakes just need re bleeding and throttle and cluch pedal returns need sorting out.

what i need to know is what extras i need for the SVA some pics of Vortx's in SVA trim would be good.

Im hoping to get a CAT and front bars off MNR but what trim do i need? I have identified the ares below what have you guys used for these?

1. Nut covers (i have these at least )
2. Trim for arround the suspension holes at the front?
3. Covers on the steering arms? Where do i get them from?
4. Some sort of cover for the bars undr the shuttle what have people used for this?
5. Need to make a boot cover

Many thanks in advance

looks awesome but im intrigued, what do the three buttons on the tunnel do?

Cheers,

Full beam at the front
then left indicator
then right indicator

Looks good, need to ditch those wheels ASAP though!

Answer to you q's
1, yes fit them
2, not needed
3, goto an electrical wholesalers and ask for cable gland covers (25mm dia)
4, not needed but you can fit central heating pipe lagging if you want.
5, Definately fit

I would also fit edge trim to the seats and harness holes, also edge trim on the triangular harness plates and nut cover on the harness bolts.

I have a picture of mine fitted with the MNR loan equpment I will post later.

Looks amazing in that orange!!
There seams to be a lack of mirrors and the edges of the seats will need trimming with u rubber and the cutouts

Looks fantastic, I really like the headlights!

Thats great progress Paul. How long till your SVA date? All the best with it

Heres mine on the day I passed. Apart from (to make it look cleaner) nut covers on the front suspension and a bit of shrink wrap round the steering arms there was nothing else needed as the indicator bar took everything out of the test. Notice no trim round the mudguards?

Only other thing I did was put some rubber trim along the inside return of the body in the cabin.

4. Nothing o n the bars under the scuttle. Not a problem. He did say the bottom edge of the dash was no good but i had a piece of 15mm pipe insulation to attach to the back of the lower edge.

I've got a couple of glands I can let you have Had em spare when covering the streering rack ends.

U2U me you addy and I bob them in the post.
