Ok guys how on earth do you remove the front indicators, ive already had the headlights out and still couldnt get the buggers out.??
Also the exterior door trims, how do they come off.??
Thanks I’m sure I did those two, in picture one on the left there is a square plastic part with a push clip in the middle,what’s it for.??
Should be only one bolt and pull it out. I want to say 8mm or 10mm if I remember correctly. Here is a picture of the backside so you can see where it bolts up. Kinda awkward to get to the bolts but not terrible! s-l1600.jpg

2 bolts attach the front indicators to the headlights.
1 nut on the threaded bit holds it against a bracket on the inside of the front wing. Don't over-tighten it when installing because it'll distort the panel from within. Once this nut is removed, the indicator should slide forward with some persuasion.
I removed and replaced the indicators and headlights as once piece and then detached them from the headlights once they were out of the car. Easier on my back that way!

Thanks guys, I hadn’t seen the nut so that was the issue.
