Before you start
- Check your template first. The label must show your vehicle and snorkel size.
- Lining up the template is the critical step. Take your time. If it's out, the snorkel may not fit.
- Silicone spray is safe and recommended when you fit the silicone joiners. It helps them slide on.
- A snorkel doesn't make your vehicle waterproof. Check for leaks and never go deeper than your manufacturer's wading depth.

Prep and mark
2
Remove the light panel
Remove the four screws holding the first plastic cover. Then remove the other four bolts and the plastic clips holding the second plastic cover.
3
Take the fender off
Remove the two headlight housings, then undo the 13 bolts holding the fender and lift it off.
4
Remove the factory plastic intake
The original plastic intake sits behind the fender. It comes out by undoing one nut.
5
Refit the fender loosely and mask
Put the fender back on with just a few of its bolts.
Mask the fender, A-pillar and bonnet edge around the snorkel area to protect the paint while you mark and cut.
6
Check and cut out your template
Check the label in the corner shows your vehicle and snorkel size (e.g. INEOS G/QM 4.5" DS) before you go any further.
Trim along the two edge of guard lines. Then cut out the hole along the solid black line, but leave the strip between the dashed lines. It holds the template together.
Wrong vehicle or size on the label? Stop and contact us before cutting.
7
Line up the template
Line up the top trimmed edge with the gap between the bonnet and fender, and the side edge with the line of the door and fender.
Hold it in place with magnets while you line it up (we recommend them). No magnets? Masking tape works too. Keep it flat and don't stretch it.
Edge of guard lines: the edge of the guard sits on the outside of the line.
This is the most important step. Take your time here. The template sets where the snorkel sits. If it isn't lined up correctly, the snorkel may not fit.
8
Mark the cut line
Trace around the inside of the hole with a fine marker. Remove the template and join up the line across the gap left by the strip.
Measure twice, cut once. The black line is the maximum cut.
Cut the guard
9
Drill starter holes
Drill a few holes just inside the marked line. They give the saw blade somewhere to start.
10
Cut the hole and protect the edge
Cut along the marked line with an air saw.
Clean away all metal filings. Paint the bare edge with touch-up paint, or spray it with lanolin if you don't have paint.
11
Fit the pinch weld
Press the pinch weld all the way around the cut edge.
Mount the bracket
12
Bolt the bracket to the A-pillar
Bolt the bracket to the A-pillar in the space above the fender, using the M6 bolts.

16
Connect the TPU coupler
