Probably the easiest repair to do on a D3
I think, the front metal bash plate needs removing ? and then undo the top and bottom intercooler hose clamps and remove the old pipe, then install the new one.

Undo the jubilee clip in the engine bay ,Undo Plastic cover under the drivers side wheel arch for the bottom of the hose. Be careful with the clips as they’ll break.
