Hi all,

Noticed this when taking the pics of my car. It appears that there is a 3mm gap around the headlight unit and the wing/bumper which i have highlighted in the attached pic. Ive had the headlight unit out to change the lights to continental and put better bulbs in.

Is this normal and am i being paranoid cos its a new car. Or have i not put the lights back right. i only ask cos every other car ive ever owned had a bit of rubber that went round the headlight to stop water getting past and into the engine block

Answers on a postcard pls:rofl:

seriously all help appreciated

and before anyone says anything yes thats my bald head you can see the reflection of in the bumper. Theres nowt wrong with being bald you know all these emoticons are :confused: :eek: :thumbdwn: :P :( .

Besides remember bald men are better in bed!!! (not that ive slept with any:eek: :eek: )

I've posted the step-by-step adjustment in "New octavia tips and tricks".

Try to find it, if not, let me know and I'll find it for you.

This is the front of mine, not a closeup sadly but I can see no gap.
