Just read a few guides and it seems really complicated with specialist tools, is it really as hard as it looks?

It's not too bad mate. Back ones are really easy, just a few bolts and they pop off. Fronts can be a bit of a pain though. On one side I unbolted the shock from the hub and hit it very hard with a hammer to get it out. That way was a massive ball ache so I just whipped the hub off the other side and took everything off easily that way. It's up to you. What specialist tools does it say you need?

Get the bumpers painted, some jetta GLI skirts and it will look super low.
