lol, Tony from WIM done mine, but obviously he had ramp/tools as well as knowing what he was doing, blindfolded :lol:.....to be honest, for the cost, it may just be easier and a lot less time consuming to get them done, as the geo will need doing once they are on so can be a 2 in 1 if you get them fitted at WIM
