An aesthetic enhancement, along with the rear lights?

Congratulations on the MoT pass though, Ed. ;)

Hosepipe?! I'll have you know that's quality automotive trim... :oops:

It's because the wings, at the bottom, are about half an inch too long for the body and are pretty sharp so when I have the tent on the back they rip the tent. This is a side effect of Hetty having substancial work done, apparently, by a blind welder on a steep slope, at some point in her mirky past.

Handily, it went unnoticed that the two shocker studs on the left hand side are epoxied into the mounts on the chassis as the studs have sheared and that the windscreen washer can only optimistically be described as being 'washing' the windscreen.
