I have door "kick plates" for driver and passenger doors, rear door protector, and sill protectors. Guess it's easy enough to fit them myself, but don't know how. What tool(s) will I need? How can I do it? Maybe there is a site showing how to do it, but so far I haven't found one.
 
Yes, Treworgy 90, chequer plate. In Oz (where I'm not from), they apparently call these things "scuff plates".
 
well, first off - don't fit it, it's naff and we don't approve.

second off, if you really really have to fit it, you'll need a drill and a pop riveter.
simply align the plate where you want it, drill through the plate and the body panel with a 4mm drill bit and fit a 4mm aluminium pop-rivet. take care with what's behind where you're drilling!
if you can get closed-end (blind) rivets, so much the better - they keep the water out.
you can cut the plate with a hacksaw or a metal-cutting blade in a jig-saw and smooth out the edges with a file.
 
These chequer plates are for inside the door, so they're going onto the interior door trim.

Still a 4mm aluminium pop rivet, is it (closed end-blind-best)?

Yes, one must be careful about what's behind, but sometimes isn't it impossible to know?
 
Are you OK, slob? I'm not from your planet.

to be fair I did use a sheet of stainless steel to line the rear dor of me 110 when I had it. But only to hide all the rot and hold the thing together. when it went for its mot.
