bumpers easy

side pannels have to drill holes for them if hes going todo that or could just silicone them on

all depends if it goes right id say a while though

fitting the kit dont take that long once the holes are made, however even if its getting clipped on it will still have tigerseal or other bonding agent on it so its not adviseable to use the car for 24 hours after till the adehsive is completely cured as the last thing u want after spending the cash to get it fitted is having to have it done again from panels commign away from the body.

I fitted mine myself over the course of a weekend. Most of the saturday was spent cutting away bits of the arch panels that werent needed and drilling the holes. Most of that was done early in the day then as someone said above its best to use some tigerseal of something to ensure parts are fully firm and sealed which will need to be left to set overnight.
