Guys, as you know I know feck all about this stuff, but is there any way she could tweak her springs/dampers to give more clearance (at least at the top :? )? I'm wondering about packing/affixing (well) a very thick washer or something where the column fits under the arch, or alternatively maybe at the end of the spring to effectively stiffen/preload it to reduce travel a little (or something).

I realise that may be manure. Just trying to think of stuff.

Failing that, do you have arch liners that might be removed to give a few more mm all round? Would that help/work?

I can. Good 3rd gens are very rare and becoming quite desirable. I think £3k for that car isn't expensive tbh...
