Well Done Wasa,
Looking really nice to and nearly ready for IVA, looks like you shouldn't have too much trouble. Hope that's a private road OR you could book a pre MOT inspection and have a good blast out / shakedown. All the Best....AndyH

Like the look of your car OP, bet that drive felt good.
Handyandy, if your exhaust is like the one on my 2b my advise would be to bin it. It is just a hollow chamber, I had to make a tube to go in the xhaust and restrict the flow, you can't add silencer material without having a removable end. I might be able to source you another one the same as mine if that's any good? Mine is off a Caterham, it's fully repackable. Enoch

Andy, you're Robin hood silencer defo wont pass IVA.
I used one of those plus an extra short silencer, check pic I only just scraped through SVA, and the IVA limit is defo lower.
