All because my right head light light was off bit a little bit, 'faceing down a little'
So have to spend another £18.00 od to re test :( fookers

That's a bit out of order, took mine for an mot last week and mines needed adjusting so he did it there and then and passed it with no extra cost! I would have thought they could have done this for you?

They're talking BS mate. Every car has plastic bumpers and I'm more than certain that every other car on their forecourt would be all the same colour. Just take him outside and get him to prove his point, which he won't. He will then look a prat :lol:
Red is a hard colour to match so its probably been painted, its easily scratched getting things out of the boot so wouldn't be uncommon for a bumper to be painted. I had the same thing with a red Audi I bought approved used from main dealer, difference is the salesman noticed it on my collection day and gave me a courtesy car for a week so it could be re painted, and it came back perfect

Yea they are talking BS mate I'm waiting now for seat head office to come back to me about my email I sent with the picture and they said they would ring me on Monday morning so if I don't hear off them by lunchtime I will ring them and see what they say.

Use a different MOT place next time, everyone I have used in the past has always made minor adjustments like that and then passed it.

Had a go at vinyl wrapping to see if I like it or not. If I keep it then I'll probably get a professional job done on it as what I've done looks crap up close!

Hey,

Seem to be getting a "juddering" sound (like a flat tyre) when I do above 65mph ish. Had coilovers fitted, which will be whats causing it but anyone any suggestions to some DIY looking around?

Could be worth checking if the tyre weights haven't come off causing the balance to be out. Have you had 4 wheel lazer alignment after fitting as that could be another possibility.

Had lazer alignment done, I know there are new weights on the passenger side but not sure about the drivers side, however there is nothing on there now (that's the side I think it's coming from, although that could be because it's closest).

Would an MOT pick something like that up? Got mine in 3 weeks...

I doubt it would be picked up on the MOT as they don't go fast enough on the brake test for it to show up. I has the same issue on my focus after changing the front and rear wheels over. I got them re-balanced for a few pounds at a local tyre fitters and the problem was solved. Worth it if you can see there are no weights on there and is the cheapest first port of call IMO.
