It's a pretty simple job, the only one that causes problems is the bolt inside the wings, sometimes they get seized and just spin (like mine did) Just take a grinder or a dremel to them and bobs your uncle

Worst thing is when you undo it all and wiggle it off to find you forgot to disconnect the fog lamps.
