My colleague & general all-round top bloke Jeff Harrison went to work on my Vit today, I thought I'd show you the results:
First, he removed the bolts on the suspension strut

Then squeezed the spring together

Then lowered the arm assembly

Once the spring extenders are in, attached the strut spacers

Re-attached the bolts

There's still a bit of work to do with the front arches & wheel wells to tidy them up, & we'll probably trim up the rears a little too.

Yeah, I got some rubber strip lined up, just need to fold a lip into the edge & fix to that. I don't think PC Plod will turn a blind eye to that much exposed tyre.
Should be attaching the rear damper extenders today, as it still sits on the original legnth dampers.

Woohoo!
But that front tyre is the wrong way round, isn't it?
