I would call the factory- When i fitted mine they had a template to cut the hole.

The wheel side is easy to cut with the template, the other side takes a lot of time to have a tight fit.

Here's a pic with the paper template in place and the first cuts made:



Here's one of the back side - I glassed them in once I had got the fit right. It looks messy here, but once painted it was the perfect crime!



It was a lot of work to get them to fit neatly, with the constant fear of cutting away too much material from the side pod during the fitting process.

I noticed from the Stigs build website that he seemed to have a fibreglass mounted template which seems a better solution than the paper one - I wonder if this was something the factory used to supply?
