Hood scoop diy

I recently got a jcw hood scoop from Morristown but it didn't come with installation instructions. Does anyone have a diy for a noob here? Thanks!

Open your bonnet. Look at the underside where the scoop is.
You'll see 2 phillips head screws. Undo them and put the screw somewhere safe. You'll also see 2 10mm nuts. Undo them MAKING SURE NOT TO DROP THEM and put them somewhere safe. The air diverter will come out with slight pulling.
You'll see 2 more 10mm nuts. Remove them, again without dropping them, and put them somewhere safe. The scoop will now lift out from the upper side of the bonnet.
Reverse the procedure to install the new scoop.

put a blanket or or old towel on the engine compartment (Cold not hot) to catch any errant nut that will fall out of your hands, this will save you much frustration

Ok, was able to access the other two nuts after removing the 2 plastic covers. Im such a ******* sometimes. I appreciate the tips from all. The JCW cf scoop fits perfect.

I'm a complete newbie and I'm trying to install a chrome scoop. I removed the air diverter, got the scoop to pop up but there is something holding it back in the middle on the front. Are you suppose to remove 6 screws in total? I only removed 4.
Thx!
