It's more than likely the door has dropped and not the lock/latch itself. You'd need to faff about with the hinge if you're confident enough to do that.
My 40mm Apex springs lowered the car more than Sportlines would, so there's no chance they'd lower a 1.2 up to 50mm. I've never had a set of sportlines though, just going on what I've seen in pics/other peoples cars...
Don't take it to Arnold Shark! Like I said earlier on, if the place know what they're doing you won't be able to tell in the slightest that the panel has been repaired. Don't worry about it.
People who have done this - are you just removing the adjustable platform and leaving the thread in place, or are you taking it all out all together and using the original rubber caps that were on the axle to seat the spring?
Had mine replaced through insurance a while back, had someone from Autoglass phone me up and check if mine had a sensor/was tinted etc first, they'll prob do the same with you.
I asked a boss for a rough price on replacing the rear quarter on my mates Clio, said it'd be in the region of £1300 in our garage.
Don't be afraid of it getting filled and repaired, as long as it's done properly by people who know what they're doing you'll have no more problems with it.
Next time, try reading the thread.
Feel for you mate, that could go either way tbh, if they decide it needs a new quarter and roof skin that's over £2k worth of work.
Having a bit of a headache at the mo with my coilies, but to cut a long story short, I have been offered some 20mm spacers which would solve the problem, but the thing is they are the type which use extended bolts to attach to the hub.
My question is, are they still perfectly safe to run even...
