its a bit more invloved than just holding a a screw driver and a set of pliers, as the ford hose sping clips are a pain in the arse to get off.
id give it an afternoon to do by yourself.
ive been quoted 2 hours by Pumabuild.

They don't look as good as you might think.
So be sure you want them before fitting them.
I wanted a set for my FRP till I saw them under a bonnet at Rallyday.
I will save my money.

It took me best part of the day to do mine, and I had the proper special tool meant for the clips.

Have you tried using warm water with washing up liquid, it works a treat, as everyone could probably see from my immaculate engine bay at Rallyday

I never thought about keeping them clean. Just how mucky do they look after a while, didn't notice with the black, so there will be more cleaning to do in the future then..

Stained??? 
What black oily stains? Might need a bit more scrubbing if so. the ones in Turbys old silver puma were grubby from mechanics hands and I'm sure they came up great after a buff!
