sorry Im not too familiar with the brisith terms other than bonnet - boot - earth wire and tyre (whats with the y anyways hehe) what do you mean by side guards?

but to answer your question you can just swap the hood....you don't need anything else.

just take off the two bolts on each side, four total. It comes right off, two minutes max.

yep, two bolts each side. can be done with one person, a bit easier with two.
i took off my steel hood alone. it was a bit cumbersome.
