Are you fitting a snorkel or a RAI? There is a difference.
If it's a snorkel then you will need to:
1. Remove the intake grill and drill three holes with a tank cutter or similar
2. Remove the air intake ducting and air box
3. Cut the inner wing to fit the new seal to the air box
4. Drill the A pillar for the top mount
5. Route the new ducting to the new seal - fix air box and snorkel and seal with Sikafix or similar
That's roughly it.
I did mine at home but needed help to get a decent drill bit to do the A pillar. I see no ships........
