As you may know, I've buggered mine up. I have a replacement planned from a member here but need to know how to remove the old one. I know there are two bolts on the top of the panel just under the hood, beyond that, what else do I need to do to remove the front quarter panel? Specifically, driver's side.

Are you referring to the front fender, i.e. the panel in front of the front door that leads up to the headlamps??

There's two you can see, and many more you can't. It's not a simple 5 minute job.
It's been covered before, have a search.

There's 4 across the top, two at the rear bottom, a lot at the front corner, one in the door opening. Couple along the wheel arch that are 10 mm self tappers. Rest are 10 mm bolts.

Yes. Mine is banged up hard from an encounter with a roller door rail I got a bit too up close and personal with when learning to drive. Would be a very exxy repair or I can grab another white panel which isn't ****ed and just worry about matching paint if that's even needed.

Thanks mate. I did a search but only went a couple pages in and found nothing. On your suggestion this has in fact been covered, I researched and went even deeper and eventually did find it. Thank you for your advice, both times! :D
