Default cutting my wing

At the cutting of the wing stage now for fitting my hybrid fmic.

I'm wondering what do people use to cut the wing with? what would be easiest to use?

Ain't done one myself mate on a scooby but with playing around with other cars in the past you won't go far wrong with a grinder or a reciprocatoring saw mate.

If its a round hole then a hole cutter and slow speed, filed after and painted to stop it rusting.
