how did you cut your guards
with an aluminium blade on a jigsaw, cut straight through, plus looked heaps neat. then just went over the edges with agrinder disc to take off any burrs. can supply photos if need.
Oh yes please :)

i left a little extra body panel on the guards, and then went along with a pair of tin snips, cutting about every inch and folding the metal back against the underside of the guard so that there was no sharp edges to hit.
I also used a 4" grinder with 1mm cutting discs with good results - although I did require a 7" to cut some of the doors neatly.
It's an easy job, you just need to think about it and be carefull when cutting.
shorty your is a 2 door I have no fear doing the front its the rear doors Im afriad of
