Argh they have failed to remove the torsion bar, so will not be able to lower the rear 
However, front is lowered, link bars are fitted and rear dampers are on, so not all is bad. Picking the car up at 5:00.
Pics then.

got it back now, and i'm well chuffed, the diffuser keeps the rear looking low, and the front is decked lol. My mum and dad have gone out with the camera, so ill have to keep ya waiting a little longer
Andy, they spent all day today, and yesterday evening trying to remove it lol. Someone's had a go at it before, and cross threaded it, so it wasn't easy getting hold of it. He actually broke one of his slide hammers trying to remove it!
To be fair, they've been a pleasure to deal with.. if there were any problems they let me know, and eventhough it wasted the whole of today, they didnt charge me extra.
Might get Wilsy to have a crack at the torsion bar another day.
Id reccommend RimzInc to anyone 
Pics this evening

like i said tho take a trip to KJ near the test centre, he will do it, he really is good at making a shit job good, my old torsion ( not on my car no more) was crossed thread adn have different thread size in it and he satill got it done for me,
on a different note looking good really need the back end down now to complete it, look so much better once done

was it going to be done on notchs or the correct way?
on a different note, looking good just need the back end down now!!

Not sure, i think he tried to do the notches way, not removing it. But not sure. How much do KJ styling charge?
Thanks mate, looks better in person than in those pics Might put the rear bench back in to lower the rear a bit more..
happy though

notches is the incorrect way to be doing it,
also KJ is about 50 quid, and does a good job, and will 99% get un siezed bars out and sorted!!
