hi guys, Bit of a strange question....my car failed its m.o.t and is due to get re-tested tomorrow! Does anybody have some mk2 headlights i could borrow for a couple of hours, as the brackets on my lights have been re-glued and the positioning of the lights are pointing the light out a couple of cm's outside the allowed rate!

Thanks!!

it cost hardly anything to get the beams realigned when mine failed on them

its the way that the lights are positioned on the car, and coz the brackets have previously snapped theres no way i can get them to go on properly

£90 is shocking for some headlights, but I think you'll be pushing it to borrow some.
