Replacing Cooper fuel door with S chrome door

I bought a color matched Cooper S filler door/trim ring assembly to swap onto my wife's 2015 Cooper. I've found a great write up on making the swap on an R56, but not much on the F-series MINIs. It looks like a fairly similar setup; has anyone done this swap on an F56 and if so, any tips/tricks? My current plan of attack is to remove the wheel and inner fender liner to get a better look at things, then go from there.
