Cut, weld, plate. I hate body lifts. Personal thing, I just don't like how they look. It's the huge gap between the body and chassis.

i need to know if i need a prop spacer if i do the 1" axle foreward job, if so ill order one if not then even better, ill put the alloys i got a couple of weeks ago onto the zuk then get my dad to take the wheels and new tyres down to the garage and have them fitted and get them on the zuk, they will fit in the arch with wheel straight so then its just moving the front axle foreward an inch and cutting the bumper mount corner and flattening the bulkhead seem, hopefully it will be that easy...

You should be able to get away without using a prop spacer.
