As per title really, how? ;D
-
Easy, except the one by the side repeater. Needs a long extension or two.
Apart from that, piece if piss.
Bumper off though. Headlight out, iirc...?
-
To add, I've only done the drivers side.
But can't see it Bering much different.

The one inside the wing isn't too bad with a decent extension but I struggled getting anything on the fixing at the top of the wing that you can see with the door open.
Headlight can stay in place, just the bumper needs pulling away from the wing, or if doing both wings you may as well drop the whole bumper off.
If you want to make it really easy you could lift the car up and take the wheel off to aid arch liner removal but I just removed the fixing's that I needed too to lift the edge of the liner away with the wheels on lock. Thinking about this, as yours is lowered it may make more sense to do the former.

Don't forget the one on the A post,that needs the door opened to access it. :y T :yhe one bejind the arch liner - 1/4 drive ratchet,attach Halfords screwdriver extension thing to it,then the normal extension on that,then 10mm socket. :y
-
And don't forget to get the foam type wedge back in properly or you will see a gap every time you open the door and it will piss you right off

2 torx screws attaching the arch liner to the front bumper need to come out, then the arch liner. 3 x 10mm bolts holding the black bumper retainer then the 2 x 10mm bolts behind that. Line of bolts across the top (8 IIRC and all 10mm). Then 2 x 10mm bolts behind the sill cover, 1 x 10mm bolt at the top hinge edge from the door side and 1 x 10mm bolt about halfway up the hinge edge from inside the wheel arch.
O/S wing requires the carbon purge filter to be unbolted and moved aside to gain access to the bolt screwed through rear of wing.

Bah. Forgot the sill removal.

& 2 torx holding the bonnet stay. ;)
