Exactly the same experience. The fron was close at 23mm, but the rear was around 10mm short of the mark. I test-fitted multiple times before cutting more! I also cut the liner a bit, then clipped it up with one of those spring clips from officeworks until, like you, I plan to drill and puch in a plastic clip.
I though the fit issue was just me - interesting to hear it seems universal.

Im sure ive read the same experience from someone else that they would have positioned the template further back than the 23mm.
But i had to cut 10mm more metal away from the rear just to close the bonnet!
All ok it ended up a good neat job and the trim covers the cut out area well, but due to stuffing around as to how much more to cut took me a lot longer than 90mins! (u work quick, or i work slow lol)
Also you end up cutting off one hood insulation lug and the insulation liner hangs down, ive just taped the edge up now, but a 'Clip' in the AEV kit along with mentioning the liner needs to be cut would of been nice, not a drama i'll make up something, probably just drill a hole and fit a push in xmas tree plastic plug where the white tape is in the pic, i.e, be same as the other 5 plugs that hold the rest of the liner in place.
Good Quality Snorkel even though it says Made in China!
