That's alright then lol. It's a pretty easy job to do. Bumper comes off in 5 mins then it's all about using a blade or hacksaw blade. 

 

There are guides on how to do it.

Yes when I bought a new bumper from Skoda I redone the wide mouth. 

 

I did mine during my lunch break. Keys is to go nice and slow and double check everything before hacking the bumper lol.

I'm just scared that if I mess it up it's going to end up in me buying a new front bumper

If you have no tools or hand skills then that's exactly what will happen.

There are a couple of guides floating around but because photobucket is a giant pile of festering puss you can't see the photos anymore. 

 

I will be doing it to mine when I got a front mount.
