Always the one when people remove the headlight then just throw them back in after a conversion.

Well just dropped it off, not a nice feeling leaving it there but hey ho

Emissions is going to obviously fail
Headlight alignment Im not sure on as I put standard headlights back in with adjusters but chances are they will fail it anyway

B3KAN - Yes mate gave it a good overhaul before it went in, checked everything over twice, and it was just recently serviced so fingers crossed.

But Im ready for a failure slip already
