Hi, New to later model minis and looking to remove trunking under front wings to properly clean down, paint and protect. How do I remove all the plastic trunking that is in the way. Where are screws, if any, and how accessible are they. Many thanks  Ed

to remove the main part nearest the bulkhead, there are 4 nuts around the tube by the accellerator pedal that goes to the heater box. 

the rest i believe are push fit, but i never had it on my mini so not 100%

On my cooper the fresh air vents have 4 screws holding them in, they screw from the inside of the car. Be careful though I went to remove one of mine and the screw head snapped off. I believe they screw into captive nuts on the inner wing.
