The Back of the car is real easy you'll have both sides done in 40 minutes maybe even quicker. As for the front again it's straight forward but i bit more messing about i ended up taking all the brakes off and then taking the wheel housing from the front wishbones to make room to slide the bottom of the new shocks into its seat in the back of the wheel housing.

my only tips are :

don't disconect the brake lines (unless you wanna bleed the brakes after you put it all back together)

dont pull from the driveshafts i did this and then found there was no need,

someone else may say different but this way worked for me and my cars fine

Yeah i thought the back would be easy. Took 6 hours on my 106, bloody torsion bars lol.

Yeah the front will just be struts off and simple replacement like the 106.
cheers for that mate needed to make sure before i started.
