Post by: Paul86S2 on 22 February 2009, 21:52: Good luck with your MOT. No worries with no interior on MOT as long as you have no sharpe edges in the wrong places.

If you're taking the car on the track I would remove the mudflaps before they remove themselves, and consider beefing up your rubber exhaust mounts with some heavy duty cable ties (banging exhaust can become very annoying).

Have fun and enjuy.
