Wooohooo! It passed! (+ a question)

[ShinGaz]

Well I'm chuffed! My bargin basement TVR S3c just passed it's Mot first time with no faults or advisories.

With the cost of a rear end respray, a new battery and a full service it now owes me about £3000, but I really am utterly thrilled with it.

I do have one question... I've found that on the lovely bumpy roads here in Wiltshire that a panel in the passenger footwell keeps coming down/open and exposing what appears to be a part of the wiring loom. I've had a good poke around and put the offending panel back in place, but I'm worried that any large bump could cause it to fall open again.
Has anyone else experienced the problem? If so is there a quick/easy/widely known fix to this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's to access the ECU & fuses. I replaced the original fixing on mine with a nut and bolt arrangement.

Yours had a proper fixing originally?
Mine just gets stuffed back up and wedged, seems to stay up by witchcraft
