Brake Duct Swap?

Ill hopefully be taking delivery of my CM-S sometime this week and I already have the red JCW mirrors and brake ducts waiting to be put on.

Has anyone changed out their brake ducts? Care to share how to go about it?

Thanks
Sean

they pop right out, 3 tabs across the top/bottom, 2 up the sides

i used a credit card to lift the tabs, keeping a firm pull as i worked around the duct

It's very easy. I managed to pop those and the mirror caps off with ease. Just a firm tug, and you are good to go.

The headlight rings were another story. Lost a couple of plastic tabs in that battle.
