Can i get a flexible bit, as the toilet will lift quite a bit higher?

You should be able to use what you already.

Note the extension piece isn't fully inserted, it looks as though its pulled out.

if not use a jollyflex pan connector from the original svp and then connect your existing 90 to the end, to be safe, available from most diy stores and here:

There's nearly three fins sticking out which shouldn't be, try twisting and pushing at the same time.

How much are you looking to raise the pan.

If you go for the jollyflex pan connector ( I would use whats there) get the bent type so you only need one fitting.

Are you keeping the existing suite, the outlet height varies quite a bit.

Looking at the pic, so it's not clear, but I would go for a plastic socket on the existing pipe with a short length of pipe and a 112% bend into a bent pan connector, that would give you around 25-30mm
