My car is going in to have the front bumper and bonnet sprayed with the need to blow the wings in.
I am going to removed the grills, badge and arch liners but how do I remove the wing indicator units?
 
Out or curiosity I need the same done as you, how much are you paying and where are you having it done ?
 
£100 for the bumper, then I mentioned that my bonnet wasn't shiny enough (a poor respray sometime in it's life) so might as well spray the front end and repair a micro dent on top the wing. Agreed £250 cash which I think is cheap. I'm not expecting a lot for that hence the removal of a few parts in the hope I get a better job.
 
BTW, having it done in north Bristol. He does have a oven and paint scheme so is quite professional (I hope).
 
That's a good price, hope all goes well. Make sure you remove or lift out water squirters to avoid any edges or future peeling around them. I would imagine the body shop would do this anyway .
 
Once you have twisted the indicators out as shown above you'll need to pull out the larger plastic fitting rings they mount in. They must be sprayed separately for a decent job.
 
Best removed but that will be bumper off to get to the retaining clips, so perhaps the garage will mask it off.
