Love to see that!
Presume you'd need an engineer's report or similar, like with kitcars etc.

I believe if you tell them now about the engine and conversion to 4x4 etc they are most likely to put it on a Q reg I'm afraid

I have the same issue with my 4x4 fiesta cosworth so will have to cross this bridge soon

I wouldnt bother mate, m,ore hasle than its worth, i would check along the lines of vosa / vic check ? I think if the check it and they are happy with it you might not need to register it on a q plate but dont hold me to that!

I usually hate body kits but there's something about the Dimma kits I like. Back in the day There was a girl near me who had a dimma clio with mi16 on carbs, looked superb. Then she had a pearl white Dimma Clio, also looked amazing.

Lot of work gone into yours. The silver mesh lets it down big time though! Halfords sell the same thing in b,ack, looks a lot better.
