Done, left it a couple of hours in between and checked that both sides moved fairly freely.
I've mainly used the wheel arch/wing to judge alignment as the strips under the headlights are flexible and deceptive.
Ended up moving the offside back a tiny bit as well and the nearside forwards; currently happy with it overall.
Used your "two white knuckles" torque setting on a 16" ratchet and hope for the best, though I've left the fog light covers off for now.
Those incidentally are okay-ish but not the best which reminded me I have a spare pair. I think they've been on loan to Neil for quite a while now.
At the time that was with the intention of scanning for possible 3D-printing of clones, but I'm not sure that got anywhere .......
