took my car in for the mot earlier and it failed..

only car ive owned that i needed to mot,as i usually get bord of cars and change them..

failed on..

numberplates (pressed plates)
side rep bulbs (clear under smoked grey side reps)
side light bulbs (xenon, but he said they are to blue)
headlight bulb not fitted correctly (just needed pushing in)
headlight clips broken (the bottom clip on both)
handbrake cable (very slightly split)

ive sorted:

side light bulbs
side rep bulbs
headlight

getting numberplates done 2moro, then its just headlight clips and handbrake cable..

where can i get the bottom headlight clips from?

im still abit pissed off, but still im pretty pleased that there not major things..

Not a fussy bastard at all, without the clips, the lights bounce about all over, an absolute twat when someone behind you's lights are bouncing about, shining in your mirror.
