failed the MOT today,

anyway failed it on headlight alignment and the handbrake didn't hold enough or something.

happy days! cos our car was lowered on the cheap with 60mm springs and standard shocks for almost a year now and the suspension was still in good nick! nice one!

the car also scrubs on the arches when people are in the back and on bumpy roads but it passed as well, nice :grinning:

the front splitter scrapped off the floor when it went on the rollers but nothin was said and he didnt jack it up full cos of the skirts :grinning:

and we had to stick big dirty red reflectors on the car for the mot (ones made for the back of a caravan , lol) for the lights to pass cos we've got the illegal smoked ones, lol

all in all, a good day for the fez!

yea but failed on simple stuff.

I was expecting to have to fork out for a whole new suspension set up, fail cos of scrubage, not being able to get on the ramp etc etc

just failing cos of the handbrake and headflight alignment is a big relief believe me mate!
