If you are fairly confident with tools then you shouldnt have any problems!:) The main thing is that you make sure you mark the holes in the correct place before you drill!:whistle:

If you have all the tools to hand and are confident it should take less than an hour to fit. Took me about 30-40 mins but I had my wheel arch liners removed already so that made it easyier!

You will need: Tape (to hold the template to the wing), a drill, drill bits (various sizes including a 78 or 80mm bit), centre punch, hammer, sockets, spanners, screwdrivers and silicon sealant.

There may be other items required for the removal of the wheel arch liners but I cant remember how I removed them!

If you have any other questions give us a shout.

Quick question did everyone offer up the cutting template to the snorkel before fitting? My template does not match up 100% is there a obvious reason for this, say the contour of the bodywork perhaps?

The photo has the 5 holes to the right of the intake lined up, but the last hole seem quite a bit out?

I drilled the holes quickly then realised the template is slighty out ! not hard to do though !
