    hah! You bet.
    Of course it was raining that day. And I had nothing to cover it with.
    I stopped at the nearest garage, but the only thing they had was clingfilm.
    That kind of worked, but was deafening above 40mph.

    Well funny I was at the mot centre last week and got failed on a cracked bumper! the idiot who was clearly just out of the "big house" for the day stood and told me that if I was to knock someone down that my "BUMPER" with a crack on it would be damaging to person knocked down! How ridiculous!

    Yes. You can fail on bodywork issues. I had a fail for rust around a wheel arch one time. Anything which leaves a rough or jagged edge where someone could come into contact with it, could lead to a fail.
