  Installing and recalibrating these new headlights is also more complicated and will take longer, meaning a higher level of expertise and diagnostic equipment is required as well. Around 80 per cent of replacement car parts fitted to British cars are imported, with almost three-quarters of these coming from EU suppliers. Increases in tariffs as a result of a no deal Brexit would significantly increase the cost of importing car parts, which will affect the prices of new cars - as well as the ongoing cost of insurance.

It also means you get funky loudspeakers in the head rests. On the plus side, no really silly mods (loud exhaust and nasty rear lights notwithstanding), the original Japanese book pack, heated screens, leather seats and a CD player, player, player, player….
