Shower Head feed rigid pipe - cut to fit?

[rhalliday]

I am installing a new fixed pipe feed shower head but forgot to adjust the height of pipe feeds to mixer unit - hence have not enough head room without cutting the pipe feed to the shower head! The supplier says this is strictly not recommended but I am not going to rip every thing off ( tiles, auqua board etc) to start again.
Has anyone ever cut the rigid vertical feed ( from the mixer unit) to adjust the height...does it cause any problems??
