1. Prepare a set of tools: a pencil and a ruler, Phillips and regular screwdriver, a drill and a drill bit, the keys are different sizes. Often requires a key on "10", but for example, to Sprinter tuning, you will need a size "8" and "12".
2. When mounting the front fenders need to turn the wheel at a comfortable angle, and even better - just remove them. After that, you need to remove the existing at the installation site the screws - usually no more than 3-wheel-side and 2 - side bottoms (although the bus number can be more). Suggest all holes from screws to handle corrosive composition.
3. Now soak the cloth in alcohol or other degreasing composition, and remove from the installation all dirt and dust.
4. Attach purchased accessories to the place where they should be mounted with a pencil or marker mark the point where there should be holes. Now drill them with a drill and screw the screws in place, but with the apron.
5. Rear mudguards are mounted as the front (the sequence is the same), but the only difference is that before installing you will need to remove the removable plate which will take a special bracket supplied with the products.
6. If aprons will be on the side, you can trim. But, as practice shows, it is better not to do so, as these mudguards better protect the sidewalls, sills and underbody from snow, sand, water, etc.
