You had exactly the same fails as I did. How weird.
The fix for my headlights was to take off the front lens and move the 3 spring clips that hold the lens to the surround so that they exerted more
force onto the lens. Check yours as you may have the same problem as I did.
Good luck with the retest.
Self centering - pump up tyre pressures and add toe out.
Dashboard - i slotted a length of pipe lagging onto a sheet of 3mm plastic and then covered the whole lot in fablon and secured it to the dash using
the original dashboard mounts.
Andy harding has it at the mo - he's in stoke - i'll drop him a line if you need

Well to be on the safe side I got some different lenses all together, after the SVA I'll try and sort my old ones out and then sell the new ones
I just got.
Self centering is now sorted - had to put some springs under the rack gaiters, the toe out and high pressure alone just wasnt doing it on my car for
some reason.
Cheers for the offer on borrowing the dash, I went round andys to borrow his sierra wheels and saw it then, it does look good but I've got some
boot seal edging trim from europa and popped that on now - it looks quite good and does the job. pretty much done now just need to cut out a metal
surround for the exhaust aperture.
Hopefully see you around when I'm on the road

Major manufacturers dont use gaffer tape, but a washing up bottle is acceptable over the coil overs  PMSL
Your right though its a good fail,reminds me of mine with nothing to bad to ammend.
Good luck with the retest
