i've got a pair of the alloy machined ones somewhere, not sure about the fixing kits for them though
the front mounts that go into the chassis legs are the height adjustable ones via a torx screw underneath and accessed via a hole in the bumper
but make sure you don't strip the threads when adjusting them, then they are fucked as they are moulded into the bumper
you will also need to make sure the rubber inserts that they sit in are in good order as if they have rotted no amount of adjusting will fix them
it's also worth drilling a hole through to put some bolts in, otherwise the front bumper is very easily removed with only 2 plastic fittings holding it in place

Il take the machined ones off you if you want?
Ive swapped my rubber ones around, basically turned them over which has lifted the bumper. The only issue is that the corners or the bumper seems to be a touch lower.. Whats the solution for getting a straight bumper mate?
Do you think the machined brackets will sort it?
Cheers, regards, Gary

I got my electric drill and put a 13mm socket in the chuck and spun it in reverse while pulling the bumper away from the wing,it came off easily.
You may need to get a hacksaw blade between the mount and bumper and cut the bolt if you have no joy.
