yea they are standard headlights that are fitted now
It wasn't too bad tbh, a lot of drilling spots out then hitting.
well i've looked very closeley and it appears that all the structure is in the 8 heavy duty bolts holding the tow eyes on to the body and crossmember.
We'll see if it passes test

And today I fitted my brand spanking headlights and stuck the grille on for a couple of photos. Also refitted the boot handle after colour matching a bit bettter:

I expect the MOT man will be looking for rust holes underneath & not how it's fixed,try & get the new crossmember a bit dirty before he sees it!

OP
OP
It failed on:
-O/S Seatbelt mount corroded (Small patch to weld)
-Headlight alignment out (they did it while it was there)
-Washer jets blocked (sorted now)
-Exhaust mount broken (being done at same time as other welding)
and the wierdest one (can't remember exactly as the fail sheet is in the car)
-Modification to front underside of car which effects bracking and or steering???!!! (which was that they wanted a couple of welds on the crossmember lol)

And cheers guys, once i get my compressor i should be able to spray in my garage without too much difficulty.
Surely better to fit the alloys off the other car? studs and spacers gets fairly expensive, although I imagine only three of the alloys are OK?
