MOT issues?

Maybe.... cut the grab handles, do a (partial) tail chop, smaller tail light, delete/reduce rear wheel hugger and/or delete/reduce side panels.

Deleting the the undertray & side panels simply exposes wiring to more road dirt, particularly if its raining.. There's little or no weight saving from doing this, but you do lose a lot of aesthetics.

The handles can be useful albeit rarely. More work to remove them than gains from doing so imo They always seemed ugly though to me and caught my eye. Then I painted them black and I really don't notice them anymore.
