I think the point is, all vehicles must comply to the rules, at scrutaneering, i know there are always minor issues, but as long as the vehicle is deemed safe "for all spectators, crew, other entrants ect" then it should be ok, if bitz fall off during an event, then that dosnt matter, unless the vehicle rolls and then it is required to be rescrutaneered, "speed event only i think" so if bits are missing and it dose not comply with rules" then it should not be allowed to carry on. (Maybe varnish the cardbord??)
