Mine had its first 6 month check last week sorta 7 months as I was busy working in Italy and sorting the 14 years olds rally car. Great dealer knew lots about the wee thing great coffee and a chinwag - top folks.
Wee lad had an incident with a 3x3 fence post that was lying across the rally stage wow that did some damage, wishbone twisted, driveshaft fooked and chassis leg bent but all good now. He is keeping me busy. and doing well 14 years old 2nd event came 7th out of 14 and second in class he is turning heads in the service park . Chip off the old block lol.

Never had the auto main beam working yet so picked up the young lad from rugby training and headed for some well known B-Roads with no street lights, Fook me the main beam is amazing lights the whole countryside up
. Even my lad was like Dad those lights are amazing its like being on a night stage in a rally car . I was like well you are now! so watch this, and proceeded to accelerate sedately and take some corners gently some very spirited driving might then have then occurred - bloody brilliant.

You’re not wrong about the full beam lights on these. Best I’ve experienced. Makes a huge difference to spirited night time drives, of which I am a big fan. Not sure I trust that auto function not to blind people though
They are great for a 'supermini' but for twisty roads I still couldn't see anything into bends so I got a wide shining light bar (vid)

Looks good. Although to be fair we are less likely to encounter 500kg of moose hidden around a dark bend than you are.
Sure, but my base rule for driving still is, if I can't see through the bend, I can't go on the throttle and night drives became pretty dull....

It's funny how much opinions vary so much on something like this. The GR is by far the most modern and expensive car I've ever owned, and yet on dark twisty country roads, I find the headlamps aren't that great. They somehow manage to be dazzlingly bright/white, and the reflections from road signs etc are startling, and yet at the same time somehow don't light up the road particularly well or where I'd like it.
