Actually, (and yes, I did spend hours drudging through all the regs for this), vehicle design regs allow a 30mm rounded, non sharp protrusion from the vehicle body plan. They couldn't even do you under construction and use, unless they want to try and contradict the design regs.

I thought you weren't allowed to see any tread from a top down view over the arch. I may be wrong as i couldn't find it on the UKMOT website though.

Not unless they've altered things. I checked through all the regs when I wrecked the wheel arch on a bollard, and according to the ones I found, there is no requirement for the wheel arch to actually cover the entire area of the tread. The only stipulation is that if anything extends past the bodyplan, it has to be a maximum of 30mm, and it cannot have sharp or otherwise dangerous edges, (which wheels obviously don't). The bodyplan is classed as the imaginary outline on the floor of the outermost dimensions of the vehicle as designed at the factory, which with the wide body Surfs, does include the arches as well.
