was a bit nervous as it's a new mot place to me after moving back north and i've had pixs take garages before that try and screw money out of you.


i removed the eyebrow's and replaced the blue led side lights with
originals and that was it.

:banana: :woohoo: :woohoo: :bmw: :kiss:

passed and no advisories."get in there" 8)

finger nail munch time +5 smokes.

Leave the eyebrows off! You know it's better that way!
Congrats on MoT pass though - it's like pulling teeth waiting to hear I find.

Honestly i would leave the eyebrows off and throw them away, they are hideous and obvious stuck on tat :puke:

I mean just look how nice your E30 looks in those pics outside the garage and then look at the front end in your sig pic. Even both the cars next to it look better and they aren't an 'is! You know it makes sense :)

Any car the fails the MOT is probably seriously dangerous. It's so very difficult to actual fail. Play in a bearing is not sufficient. Has to be EXCESSIVE

LOL I had excessive corrosion and excessive movement last week - second time lucky, MOT green certificate in my hand today so make that another pass to add to the thread!

excessive + red MOT refusal = empty wallet :(

Put the tourer in for it's MOT today.

Nothing serious to report.
Couple of small things down as advisories and a split wiper blade.


All good for another year or so :D

Slight pitting on the outer edge( the 335mm disks will cure that winkeye ).


And a rear tyre somewhere near the legal limit,but still legal(5 mins on camskills website will cure that too)
