Easy or hard job? Thinking of buying a pair but not if there just going to be a pain to fit!

Use a jigsaw not an angle grinder. Cleaner, more accurate cut

i was going to use a jig, but would have ended up scratching the paint on the bonnet where the guide of the jigsaw rubs

cutting disk on grinder followed up with neatening with a file worked ok

You'd be wrong. Dremel would only be good to de-burr
