Welcome to the madhouse 
Yeah, looks ok to me too, provided the wheel/tyre doesn't come into contact with it. Might also be worth considering turrning the shocks round,
so that the adjuster is on the inside. It will make it much easier to access for adjustment.

Looks fine. Yes definately re turning the shocks round. Seems to feel "right" having the adjustors pointing outswards but the first time
you go round the car fiddling with the suspension settings you'll kick yourself when you get to the rears!!

Are those suspension bolts fully tightened? If they are the nylocks are not going to stay tight, threads need to go past the head of the nut by at
least 3 threads to work properly.

Insufficient bolt thread length through nylocs is a definite SVA and MOT fail

I wouldn't bother with turning the shocks around. I found it harder to get to them with the adjuster pointing inwards. I adjust mine with a long
thin screwdriver through the wheel. It isn't as if you are going to be adjusting them every time you go out (unless racing it in proper series)
normally for the road you would find a good setup and leave it.

Tester may ask how you've shortened the cable, then ask for prove of strength.....

HI guys thanx again for all the help...
the bolts are not yet tightened as i know i would end up having to remove something for some reason eg. turning the shocks around..
mk provided me with a new link that goes onto the end of the shortened cable held in with "little wire screw thingys" i dont know the
correct term :S lol
