I think its going to need to be SVA approved as youve modified the front structure...

 

Not so, The SVA was replaced by the IVA in April 2009 and the regs relating to Exterior are only those as follows:-

 

13. Exterior. Between the floor line and a height of 2 metres there must be no features likely to catch or increase the risk or seriousness of injury to any person who could come into contact with the vehicle. This like the interior is another large section that deals with radii and projections from the body, wheels etc.

 

and for lighting:-

 

9. Lighting. Check that all obligatory lights and reflectors are in the required positions, of the right colours, intensity and are visible at the required angles. There is a large section on visible angles and position of lights both for the obligatory and optional lights

 

Plus as Blues car is a 95 model and so over 10 years old no SVA or IVA testing is required and just a regular MOT needed. As there are many Chav'ed 106's and Saxos and the like with different lamps fitted its only the poor integrity of the builder that will get a fail

Your 'custom spoiler mounts' look exactly the same as some glass shelf brackets I used to sell. About £8 for a set of 4, and already come chrome plated.

 

THERE'S LOADS OF DIFFERENT DESIGNS AVAILABLE TOO

 

LOL i was thinking the same our soap dish holder and toilet roll paper holder mounts look the same...but i know how ideas come into play and dont look good until fitted so ill hold back and wait to see this spoiler fitted before i say anymore:)
