Is there any easy way to remove this front fender trim?


Sorry in advance as I know nothing about cars but I wish to replace this piece. Is this just held on by screws? What's the best way to approach this?This is a 2006 r50

I don't remember ever having looked closely at that piece, but if it's like the trim on the sides of the rear bumper, it's held on by plastic tabs that are a bit of a PITA to remove. Not difficult, just annoying. You'll have to at least partially detach the inner fender to get to it, if memory serves. I don't remember if the bumper cover has to come off or not.
