Cutting and drilling bodywork - how to?

For the master bodyworkers out there, Two questions -
1 i have some rear arches that i need to cut a bit out of. i bought them from darren, so the quality etc is goos, they're just the wrong shape for me (dont ask.....) so, will lots of masking tape and a jigsaw work? fast or slow?
2 Mac 1 aeroscreen, how do i drill mounting holes without 'starring' or any other problems?

Drilling aeroscreen

Use a lip and spur wood drill bit at slow speed with very little pressure. It will also help to back up the screen with a piece of similar material during drilling.
Lip and spur bits are the ones with a central point and two scribing points instead of the normal Vee shaped cutting edges. B&Q etc sell them.
