I'm sitting in the MOT station with my cabby, first outing of 2012 was yesterday. No cleaning, just fluid check and a replacement N/S headlight. It's been straight through the last 2 since I've owned so fingers crossed for another good year.

Best of luck, mine has only done 167 miles since last years so I am hopeing it sails through when it goes in May.

MOT success. Advisories on rear handbrake, rear beam bush deteriorating and misting of NSR back shock.

New MOT cert shows advisories on main page, wasn't aware of that.

That's three years on the bounce and all I've had to do is change out a headlight :D

Nice one Topblag, Jhonno I know what you mean about the grill. When I got it the chrome was all tarnished and thought feck it, paint it black as I was doing the grills anyway as they were really badly faded.

I know that its not to everyones taste but it has grown on me.

Theres a few dings that I need to get pulled out and to be honest she could do with a bit of paint here and there, but having spent so much on the wheels and 2nd hand roof I'm totally skint this now so heres hopeing she sails through the MOT.

Matt just -40 gmax springs on OE dampers. Looking to refresh most of the suspension next year so will most likely go with the eibach / blistein combo then.
