Best way to cut back door

To all that have fitted flares to 4 door Rangie.

What is the best way to cut the double skin back doors. I was concidering using either an air hacksaw or 4" grinder with thin cut blade. You need to cut outside skin separate to inside sklin.

Any comments.

Thanks
Steve

I used a 4 inch angle grinder. cut both skins.

If you have one a jig saw would be good,

have fun.

I just used a jigsaw with a fine blade & did both skins at once. The inner, being steel didn't move around much. Less than 5 min/ door. Nice & neat too. A bit of thick tape on btm of jigsaw will stop any scratches.

I followed the RS instructions and didn't have any problems.
Used an air nibbler on the outer skin and a hacksaw for the rest, worked fine.

Cheers

Air nibbler and Angle Grinder. BFH also helps to tuck it all back into shape and get the flare as much up as possible.
