Just be very careful, put loads of masking tape on and use the finest blade jigsaw u can get and maybe spray with WD40 or similar GO GENTLE as the
panels are wafffer thin sir!

Have a look at my car.

QMax hole cutter was used (48mm iirc)
Looks a lot neater IMHO than the rectangular hole and no sharp edges to cover up.

As Hector advised. Did mine with fine bladed jig saw. Took a couple of blades as my panels are stainless steel.
Make sure you put masking tape on first. The foot of the jig saw could scratch the panel.
Good luck.
Dave.

i also used a round bit on the drill to cut it.
I advise you that if you have got ally panel
to pop a piece of stainless (smaller as the diameter of the cut circle) on the centre,
dril it first with a normal dril and then you have plenty time to make the round hole.
If you don´t pop in the extra sheet the ally hole will eat away making the expierience badly!
