Default Install Splash Guards on 2018 Q5?

Wondering if anyone has installed splash guards themselves? I don't see any existing holes for installation, just wondering before placing an order?

I ordered the parts, but after seeing the install steps I'm going to return.
Fronts are not too bad but do require drilling new holes into body panels.

But rear requires cutting a portion of body in wheel well, and that is too much for me.

Best of luck to anyone who tries this.

I bought the guards - front and rear for my Allroad, yep, installation was more steps than I wanted to deal with, so I had the dealer install them. I happen to think they are a decent investment from helping to keep some debris from kicking back. Having said that they are the smallest, most unimpressive looking guards I have even seen. The guards on my wife's 06 Outback look 100% nicer. Come on, Audi.

Put front splash guards on the 2108 Q5. Fairly straight forward. Hardest part is putting wheels back on!
