Nope. I even said (this is before i knew he had been chatting sh*t about my car) i can just take the rear seats out but apparently that wont be good enough. Even though his facebook status makes it sound like he failed it just because he doesnt like my wide arches...
I'm going to trim the rear quarters down some more tomorrow and make them look "pretty" because obviously people like to look under the arches to see my awesome cutting skills (sarcasm), take the seats out and take it to a different mot place. Going to get their opinion on the arches over the door thing though before i book it in.
I dont see it as a problem but im no mot tester. If everywhere wants to be really picky then i can always weld and smooth the rear doors up but thats something I dont really want to have to do just for the sake of a couple of arch extensions.
Edit: Also they are genuine works wheels
Ruggy:
To be fair mate, what the hell were you thinking. Bolting on wide arches that mean the rear doors don't open, whilst having a child seat in the back. You're luck you've just failed a mot and nothing more serious has happened.
There's no way that us road worthy car.
Jesus wept.
AJG09:
Should have got the mot first bud.
Your pretty committed now so if I was you id sorn it and get the arches all sorted out and looking nice a tidy and safe and id try figure out a way to trim the wide arch so the rear door can still open. But don't trim the wide arches yourself unless your confident you wont crack or f them up.
I'm sure a body shop could sort it out without breaking the bank.
Then when they are sorted you can get your mot and keep the build going :happy2:
