JG, Welsh One, Roadster, Dave & Lancelot - Thanks chaps.
The fact I can still drive the car makes a big difference, as it is such a joy to be out in it.
( Even today, when I had to swap my flat cap for a warmer beanie pulled over my ears. )
So I will find the time to fix the mess I made and carry on.
The really good news is that removing the lowering block was definitely worth doing, see below…

The Tale of the Tape:
Despite the foggy morning, I went out for another short drive to help settle the rear suspension.
Then I headed back to the Sainsburys' car park to remeasure the gaps…
Rear Silencers:
Before - 10 cm to ground
After - 14 & 14.5 cm
( As I still need to straighten up the passenger side silencer, after the car landed on it.
)

Driver's Side:
( From the top point of the wheel arch opening to the ground. )
Before - 58 cm
After - 61 cm
( Sorry the photo is blurred. )

Passenger Side:
Before - 62 cm
After - 65 cm

I know the two rear wheel arches are not in the same position relative to the horizon.
But, overall, I think the car sits much better with the lowering block removed.
Then it was back home to join my daughters for some pumpkin carving.
( As there will not be enough time to do this tomorrow. )
The family line up.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
