undo old body kit, put new bodykit on

Hmmm ok then, well are there any hard to get to bolts or anything like that, eg would i need any special tools ?

Nah mate. Relatively easy job. i've had my front bar off 3 o 4 times now.
You need to take the headlights and parklights out, and take the front grill off to get to the bolts along the top of the bumper, and undo a shit load of those pain-in-the-arse plastic clips holding the splash guards on in the wheel arches. I found the hardest bolts to get to were the relatively large ones holding the bumper to the front quarter panel (also in the wheel arch).
Make sure you unplug your indicators and fog lights... dont let the bumper fall and break the wires. (happened to a friend of a friend of mine

)

headlights only need to come out if your undoing the fenders?

Hmmm, from memory, there's a few bolts along the top lip of the front bar that the headlights need to come out to get to... could be wrong.

Either way, it'll only take a couple of hours to do the job.
