More IVA work

I could have added these to the previous one, but I didn't want to have the post too long so here's a new one. I'll add a few more points as I go round the car.

First one, wing mirrors are now on;



They look 'fine', I'm starting to wonder whether three mirror looks a bit cluttered but that's the IVA for you. To be fair they do show distinct rear views so they could be useful (I certainly don't want to be changing lanes into some random SUV that I didn't notice because I'm six inches off the floor!). 

Roll bar fixings are now covered;


They do look a bit bulky to be honest, but given they need to cover the edges of the nut, bolt AND the mounting plate on the roll bar it was easier to do it all in one. If I understand the regs correctly the remaining lock nut on top of the strut cannot be reached so would not need a cover. I want to dab some superglue on them to make things a bit more permanent, as they are they're tight but I wouldn't want them to fall off due to vibrations. 

Bonnet locks and brake pedal switch are next. The above are the last exterior projections that I need to deal with, but the bonnet locks actually add an exposed bolt so I need to resolve that once the lock is back on board. It'll just be a resized standard nut cover, I might make it a bit more 'streamlined' given it's location on the car.
