Perhaps we should ask Marlin on this subject? However I wouldn't have thought they would produce kits that would obviously fail the SVA. I will send an email to Terry.
As I collected my kit a long time ago explanation was as follow form Terry and Mark too:
The ones on the top of the bonnet can only be put in after you cut your bonnet in the correct size and have positioned the hinge in the middle. Then it will be taken off at Marlin factory to put the louvre in. Otherwise every mm that's located wrong will make the car horrible...
Mine were asked to have louvre at the sideplates but at collection they were not there.
"we don't know how your exhaust will come out" I have to come from the netherlands but am happy now because I still don't know where the exhaust will come out !!!
So the louvres can only be made if your car is ready !
