Side scuttle removal

So i answering my own question. To remove side scuttle for mini clubman F 54 necessary open hood and unscrew 3 screw from cover over the fender ( look to manual how to change side marker bulbs) when you remove cover you will see inside spring connector (on front of side marker) push it from inside out and remove side scuttle forvard and out. After removing disconnect light and slide forvard insert if you wish to change it. Install new insert push it back to lock in place and assemble everything back

I've also seen people just push them up from the bottom on the outside to pop them out, but I prefer to do it the way you describe.

Side scuttle removal

it will not move in any direction from outside because if you notice it's located on the depth in fender. It might be pull from the body but I am not sure about this
