NB Prime this first - you see so many cars with paint flaking around the edges. Mine has been fine for the best part of a year now and I keyed the metal and primed it first.

With the outer rubbers removed, all you have to do is remove the three screws each side and the whole panel simply lifts off the car. I'm doing a bare metal re-spray on mine and I spent a couple of hours this afternoon sanding it down ready for painting tomorrow. It's a nice simple job for a Sunday afternoon and should look good once completed.
