HI
AS far as we have discussed on the forum there is no trim fitting required. As long as there is no sharp edge then you are ok for IVA. I am sure there is edge trimmings on rear wheel arches, some put thenm on the front as better finish!

Hope this helps!

cheers fella, sorry everyone the secon bit wasnt too clear. i have a stainless 4-1 manifold which ends just at the back of the engine, but obviously outside the car. my plan is to simply atatch a carbon motorbike exhaust to this so that it sat just in front of the driver, because i have it and it looks cool, however was wondering if this would be ok for the iva, assuming the noise isnt too much, cheers if anyone can help.

also does anyone here build looms, i hate electrics

i have put trim round my front and rear arches and bonnet edges. i used about 8m out of the 10m i ordered.

Just to throw a spanner in the works

i dont recall seeing or hearing of a 7 type car passing sva/iva with out it as all edges need a 5mm radius.

i,ll be using the trim for IVA ,but maybe bits will fall off on the way home

Unless the part in question is at least 5mm thick it is not possible for it to have a 2.5mm radius, so most front wings will need edging.

If a wing's edges are turned in, as many rear wings are, then no edging needed.
