Hi, How do you remove the turbo side air vent? and also the rear spoiler? I had a quick search but couldn't see anything. I'm getting them painted hopefully next week if I can get them off! Thanks

IIRC the spoiler has three bolts attached to it so should have three nuts to undo inside the boot. There might also be some sealant or double-sided tape to keep the water out.

there are a couple of hex bolts on the outside of the vents. Take out and you can (iirc) get a spanner in to the nut. There is a 99.999999% chance the nut bolt will be rusted solid and you cant get to the bolt head You can pull the vents out as they have rubber washers either side of the nuts and are open backed (U). Cut the washers off the nuts, then put back with thinner rubber washers if poss or as is (they will rattle a little bit)
