You can bet that not one of them has ever put the research and time and money and sheer effort and passion into building anything remotely as difficult as a Cobra.
I really feel for you. It may be of small comfort to you at this time, but I would imagine that your recent and unfortunately on-going experience will send a clear warning to others who are to follow, that they should avoid the Botany test centre like the plague! What you've copped is just ridiculous and is quite obviously the result of a twisted agenda that these pricks have instigated as some sort of power trip--nothing less!
I hope you start to see some light at the end of the tunnel soon, and that you have the fortitude and persistence to beat them at their own game; just keep complying with whatever lame requests they keep coming up with until their stupidity is exhausted and they are forced to approve your car.
Stay strong mate, and good luck. I have no doubt the entire Oz Cobra community is firmly behind you on this one.

Thanks Don,
One thing I forgot to mention too, is that ran the tape over all the car. They measured from headlight centre to headlight centre, headlight edge to body extremity, meaured the side indicator distance from the door opening to the middle of the lense and the middle of that lense to the headlamps. They even measured the rim widths.
Unfortunately, if your anywhere in NSW you will probably get the same Inspectors as there are only a couple of them and they work out of an office at Parramatta.
I promise I'll be strong. I've already started to fix up a few of the 'discrepancies' that were pointed out last Thursday.
