Hi, it's not finished and never been registered, so I am expecting it will need to go through an IVA.

Very interesting car. Does it have a steel tube chassis or glass fibre monocoque?
If it needs IVA it might be easier to get it through if you remove the screen temporarily.


It's a fibreglass monocoque.
Haven't looked at IVA rules yet, but interesting that you think it would be easier without the screen. Why's that?

No offence taken and I think that's quite a good analogy. One of my kids said she thought it looked like a bathtub with wheels!

because it removes a chunk of regulations surrounding all sorts including washers/wipers, edges etc.....

And if you have a screen you need to have a method to demist it which means you need a heater/blower.
