Well mine was originally fitted by Zakspeed themselves, however I had to remove the kit to put new outer sills on. Speak to fibresports, and they will sell you the correct fibreglas and resin so you can bond the arches on. Use screws or rivots to hold them in place while it dries.
Then its the long task of blending them in with filler.
As for cutting the original arches, I had to do that on the front as my original front wings were rotten, simply put the X-pack in place - line it all up and tape it in place. You can then mark the wings were you need to cut them. You should be able to see it oin my gallery.
I didn't have to do the rear arches as they were already done. My arches also came with a plastic infill, to fill the gap between the x-pack ext and the normal wing.
good luck
