Default Iva Passed!!!!!

Hi, All after starting my project Dec 2010 i can announce my car passed its IVA today first time out!
Had a few little niggles but managed to sort them out, I have to say the examiner was a really nice guy and let me adjust a few things to get them sorted.
My main concerns were the accuracy of the speedo, noise test, front to rear brake balance, emissions and rear view visibility but they all passed with with no problems.

I would advise you take a load of tools, extra bits of trim and nut covers, i missed a couple of things that classed a sharp edge and luckily the examiner let me sort the bits out.

Now to try and work out the dvla registration form

Congratulations. I bet it's the most daunting part of the project.
Now to find time to burn up the roads
