S5 Front fender removal problems
I'm trying to remove my front passenger side fender, and I believe i've run into some problems. The 4 nuts that go through the frame and the front bumper can come off, but the fender seems to be sandwiched in there. There's no way to remove it without cutting the damn thing off.
How did you guys remove your front fenders?

Yeah, i got this bolt. The thing is, all of these are still only nuts. The actual bolts are connected to the front bumper, and go through the fender and then through the frame. I'd have to remove the front bumper in order to remove the fender.

And dont forget the bolts inside the fender between it and the bumper. Only accessible from inside.
Jack the car, remove the whell and the wheel well and try to reach them. A pain in the *** I tell you!
Other bolts are accessible when you open the passenger door. You can fit a ratchet between the door and the frame.

No, you have to remove the bumper cover. There is no way around this if you dont want to half-*** it.
Removing the bumper takes 20 minutes if done slow.
Seriously, its really simple.
