Hi guys
My understanding is that you should be able to get registration on a car with panel damage as long as this does not pose a primary (ie. structural) or secondary (ie. pedestrians) threat to safety. I have a car that I'm going to do the body on as a long-ish term thing, but wanted to get it registered in the mean time. The damage looks very ugly as the previous owner bashed it out rather messily, but is little more than cosmetic stuff requiring a replacement guard.
There's certainly nothing structural wrong, no cracks in the floorpan, roof bends, and the chassis by eye certainly doesn't seem to be out of whack. So, assuming the rest of the car is in a generally sound mechanical condition, will this pose a roadworthy issue?
I can't see how it would, but I guess it might well make the giver of the RWC look extra hard for other grounds to fail me. Thoughts?
