good news..

BUT how do the majority of testers feel?

it will prob depend on tester to be honest but the way i see it whats good for one car is good for an other...the only time id have a problem is if they have been fitted poorly or out of alighn

common sense does prevail (sometimes)

lets hope testers let it slide
