Without going into detail the best way is to fit it folded down. It lines up easily with the nuts and bolts that secure it. You will need to move your rear side panels out of the way...you will also need shims to make sure it fits properly...

Thanks Galva- been quoted 100 to fit, but thought I may give it a go myself?

What are the shims ?

Thanks again
