1. jack up the car remove wheel.
2. remove inner wheel arch ( sorry no pics) there are 4 or 5 screws to undo ( use a star ened screw driver ( theres probly a proper name).

3. remove wing ( note you do not need to tack the bumper off if you have small hands) all places were the wing joins to the car use a 10mm socket.
