Here is a good shoot of the aftermath of the spot weld cutter. I predrilled a center spot to make it easier on myself

Now the side that needs a bit more finesse....
Same as the other side but on cars with power steering you have to get the power steering lines to clear the bracket. I went through the bracket with the PS lines.
First thing I did was to pull the air deflector out and disconnected the brackets that hold the line in the nose of the car so I could feed the AWR bracket through the line.

Then just keep feeding it towards its final location.

Once you get it close I had to tweak the lines on the resivoir to get it in place.

Then put all you bits back and take it for a test drive!
Looks easy!
