Good news, Chris.

Having hoiked mine up in the air and had a good look at the fronts I fear that a trip to an allignment place may be in order. The outsides are worn, as I'd expect after a day of Brunti silliness, but so are the insides, particularly on the near-side (IIRC). Any recommendations in or near Essex?

Got a price for a new front fog light from Lancaster - less than £50 plus fitting, which is in pleasant contrast to >£1,600 for a headlight. As the fitting involves dismantling the inside of the wheel arch I'll leave that to the experts, and they can reallign the NS headlight while they're at it (it's out of alignment with the bodywork; obviously only I can tell on account of my automotive OCD).

To do list now looks like:
- Replace fog light
- Straighten out headlight
- X-pipe / audio quality of exhaust (Marios)
- Fix that bloody bloody front air intake thing. Again. Properly, this time
- New front tyres and allignment.

I hold you fully responsible, Benny. James is delighted at the prospect. Mrs. N just rolls her eyes. Now I just need a good excuse to get up to Autoshield.

That truly is an insult to even Japanese car design.
