well if you try to do it yourself and you have no welding experience you're better off having a body shop do it. i workat a body shop and minimum you're looking at 6-8 hours of labor depending on the shop. thats a lowball time cuz theres a lot to take off the car until you can cut out all the spot welds holding the front clip in

why do you want to weld it to your car? were you in a bad front in accident? or what the right hand drive?

if you are going to do it. find a shop that has done it before and it won't be cheap.

yeah, it won't be cheap but a place that knows what their doing will drill out the welds and weld the clip in and when all is said and done it *should* be good as factory.
