2. Check handbrake.

3. Clip brake pipes into clips on fuel tank.

4. Fit slam panel.

5. Fit black metal curved sections at front (where the bonnet rubbers sit).

Nope! No VEL required when going to or from a pre-booked MOT test or to a place of repair for rectification of faults relating to the MOT test failure tongue
