Fitting involves drilling 6 holes in each side of the dumb irons - nowt difficult. I emailed Hen at ORA and she sent some pics across on how to do it - more for reference than instructions. Found it much easier to use a step cutter drill bit and bored through until they were the right size than try the pilot hole and then bigger approach :P Worse thing is the trial and error cutting the slots in the bumper - but managed that ok too. Once i've finished it all, ill update my jimny thread
