All done!
Had a recovery guy out, he managed to jack it up from near the back and get axle stands in, then jacking a bit more to get the axle stands nearer to the front to where he wanted them. Then he used one of the metal ramps that you would use to drive a car onto the recovery truck under the front wheel so the car was like sitting on a bridge over the drain and then drove the car off.
Zero damage, can't even find a scratch on the paint work in that area either.
Although I'm now 30 notes lighter.
Edit: I know in theory I could have done it all myself but I don't have a trolley jack or axle stands or any thing suitable to rest car on. Trying to call in favours from friends and family is a challenge to get everyone with the right components at the right time.
