the 100ml (bout the same as a can of coke) is from the lowest point. By law it has to be higher than that fully loaded, but as you say they can't chuck randoms in your car. So they measure unloaded.

It’s pretty rare to past 1st shot & only $30 or so for the re-inspection. On the first inspection they’ll give you a sheet of what didn’t pass. Then when you go back they just check those things & don’t go over the car again.

Every time I’ve been they always seem to try hard on the first inspection to find something. On the second they don’t seem to give a shit. My advice would be leave the spoiler. If they’re looking for something it’s better they pick something you were going to do anyway & you may get away with it. If they don’t find anything they may start looking harder & pick up something petty anyway.

For more advice pick up a copy of my new book ‘yellow fever’. Available from the pit stop bookshop or where all good books are sold.
