I knew I wanted to get a pair of new tyres on the front, I've replaced GSD2's with GSD3's. What an amazing tyre it is, girls think its a sexy tyre too...they'll all have them now lol: 
The brakes weren't terrible but nervethless needed changing, only having the wear indicator on one side doesn't help. Though I'm only a novice I've ended up changing them myself, it was fairly easy and replaced them with zimmermann discs and pagid pads.
The following morning it went for its MOT, and failed on rear indicator bulbs being white and alignment on one of my headlamps. The test station sorted both the things out and then passed the MOT, a big thanks to them for not complaining about being low or the headlights. I've also had the tracking done by local specialists. WOW, it drives much much nicer too.
I knew the headlamps might be a problem anyway, they're the FK angel eyes and the only way to do adjust them properly was to take it to an testing station.
Only downside is that everywhere it went, the car being low was an obstacle overcome by driving front tyres on planks of wood. However its ended up with an additionally little feature; a small scar on its lip, thumbs up to whoever did it
.
Lowriders beware; watch your car 200% of the time when going anywhere near a ramp.
So who else is due a MOT and what does your car need doing?
