As the title really...

I want to clean up and de-rust under the wings properly.

I've removed the big air pipe, it's just the moulded plastic air duct left under there now. How do I remove this?

Seems to be held on firmly although I can't see any fixings.

Thanks,

Ed.

do you mean the bit inside the engine bay or the pipe under the wheel arch? i presume you mean the black inside bit in which case mine just pulled off but it has a lip all the way round which sits very tightly to the arch and was a struggle to get off! check for fixings before yanking tho!
hope that helps

As was mentioned previously, the fixings are on the inside of the car. Four nuts secure the duct. Undo them and it should come off without to much grief...!
