If you need to ask then no, its probably worth booking it in somewhere.

i have just fit the wide arch kit to my corsa c, hadnt really fit a kit before but done little jobs like it, and i was suprised how straight forward it is, if you know your way around your car (where the bolts are etc) then id say its pretty straight forward, u will just have to make things fit!!

yea i know where the bolts are etc but how did u join the arches to the skirts and how u fit the skirts securely to the car? these bits are the tricky bits... the bumpers are straight forward... im gonna put brackets on the bottom to make itmore secure.. but the skirts and the arches baffle me.

you have too cut about 3 inchs of the wing up at the front, cut up the back and weld the skins back together then fibreglass and rivet the archs on. if you have never done body work then the archs are not the best thing too learn on.
bumpers and skirts are easy, but the archs require patience.

Dont do it yourself if your asking, you have to cut alot of metal from your car and if you cock up its will be more expensive to put right!!
