Phil - Thanks.

I'm really looking forward to organising a trip to Norfolk to meet you, Barry & Mr T.
( Once I have a few shake down miles under my belt. )

Headlight Grilles:
After another trip to IKEA today and yet more flat pack building, I got a chance to play outside.

Now the headlights are pointing in the right direction, I can finish them off before the MOT re-test.

Before:



Then 3 small brackets are screwed into position where the headlight is clamped to the bowl.
( Sorry for yet another poor photo. )



Then the outer headlight rim is fixed into position with a small screw.



After a lot of trial and error, gaps in the grille finally lined up with the fixing brackets.
( Which are then bent backwards to hold the grille in place. )



Driver's side:



Passenger Side:



Question?
- Is the rubber seal supposed to sit between the outer rim and the bodywork?
- Or is the rubber seal supposed to be "tucked in" the outer rim?



Unfortunately, the sunshine was making it hard to get a head on view of the bonnet.

So this was the best I could do.



Although I managed to get a couple of nice "shade" photos by lying on the driveway.





I just need to write down a "To Do" list for the MOT garage.
( Which is basically fix everything so the car will pass the MOT & have a look at the oil leak while the car is on the ramp.

Then, with a bit of luck, I will be able to drive the car back to them one day this week.

So until next time, take care, Paul.

PS
I think it is about time I bought a new car cover.
