First... Open the petrol flap, then get an angle-grinder...

Second... Paint the sunroof GREEN and open the bonnet...

Thirdly... Drain all of the coolant and oil, then you will have access to a screw !!!

Yep, you did.... It HAS to be BRGreen :blink:

If its pre facelift. You need a long screw driver or stick. Look for a hole in the wing inside the engine bay. Stick the screw driver in there to push the clip together then slide it out. Easy as

That's what the angle grinder was for :-)

[Andy1878]

Just looked at the pic don't think mines got that hole, is there another way to take them out easily or does the headlight have to come out first?

[andy-mcq]

The pre face lift not the same as mine then Andy?

[andy-mcq]

Right here mate

[andy-mcq]

Cheers for puttin pic up gav.

Stick a long screw driver in there to push the clip down. You squeeze it down basically then push forwards

[Andy1878]

Pretty sure mines not got that hole will check tomorrow.
