We were side by side as he was just ever so slighty edging forward... he showed me the thing after and it started that he had hit 163mph...

Hey Noidy
Aren't you supposed to change those front lights on your car? they have no sidelights, or have you done that already? If not I might be able to help

I've had an indicated 165mph from my old rev2, up against a mad VW Corrado 2.9 VR6 Supercharger, the guy in the VW said he saw a touch more than that, but not all speedos indicate the same.

I would have thought so as you don't have any sidelights (of if you do they are orange?) did you get the MOT done? or previous owner?

noidy, go back to the gits and get it sorted, you should say that it's cost you £50 to get replacement lights and they have to give you the money or you will report them for the dodgy MOT
Then pay me the postage for the lights and they are yours for free
make yourself some money fella
