Default Removal of spacers (anti-lift kit?)

Hi Guys, well I took my car over the pits today, and it got knocked back for:
-The spacers as shown in the pic below.

-The ride height was too low!
I have talked to John at Wheels World, and adjusting the ride height will be easy as it has group 4's on it. However he was not able to locate the standard parts that are replaced with the anti-lift kit.
Basically what I want to know is:
1. Can I just remove all (by my count approx. 6) the spacers? I'm assuming not as it will hit the anti-lift kit.
2. If not, does anyone have the standard parts that I could borrow for a day or two to get over the pits? (not needed till about the 5th of Jan)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
James

Looks similar to mine ..

The round bit looks OEM, might be something else?

So an anti lift kit will not pass the pits?

Yeah. I could leave it on and get an engineer's certificate. But i figure will probably be easier putting it back to standard and getting it over that way...

Darn, I thought it would have been perfectly legal, I am worried if my ride doesn't sell and I end up taking it with me to Brissy issues like this will fuck up getting an RWC :\...

Thanks mate. Just got them fitted yesterday. Very happy with them with the little amount of driving I've done since.
