Very EASY, it will be done within 2 hours aslong as you get the plate out of the crash bar ok.
Hammer and good chisel I used, You have to buy/have good metal drill bits too.

Good luck.

The only thing that took the time for me was trimming the bumper. Wasn't a problem for Jamie as he has a Bora :wink:
