Would be a real problem for some of the hot rodders and kit car people where the BIVA test mandates strict requirements re. lighting, radii of bodywork where it might meet a pedestrian etc. Most of the fixes then disappear off the cars once the BIVA test has been passed.
A colleague of mine who produced a replica historic sports racing car kit actually had a 'BIVA' front end with the headlights at legal height that he would loan to customers to get the car through the test. Then the customer would fit his 'correct' front end which had the Headlights some inches below UK legal height.
Much the same in Germany with motorcycles where the wrong radius on the edge of a washer can result in a fail. An easy fix - fit all the original bits and after the test, the stuff you really want.
