There are 2 X 10mm hex screws at the bottom of the wing - you'll need to remove sill cover..... and any attachment to the wheelarch liner of course.

;D keep going...

At least two more on the back edge... top one done from the door side, not as easy as it sounds...

Second one is about halfway down back edge... remove arch liner, then sound deadening foam and you can get to it.

Headlight and trim piece off, front bumper also off (at very least undone and pulled out/down on that side) as there's another 3 or 4 screws there ;)

Headlight is three bolts, lower one is visible/accessible either from underneath or with a long 1/4" extension once the trim is off.

Sill is a piece of piss... one torx screw under the front corner and seven or so pop caps along the bottom edge... Then, with the wheel on full left lock for nearside (opposite for offside), simply tap the sill cover forward an inch or so and it simply falls off :y

What you find underneath it once removed is a whole different conversation ;D

Think i will take the bumper completely off owing to the fact that ive just gone and trashed the other front wing on a "No Exit" sign in a tesco car park.  ::)
