Fender removal, section in FSM
There is a separate body manual, but I have yet to see it so I don't know the contents.
Really, it's not too hard. Remove the nose, remove all the bolts along the top of the fender, remove the fender liner. There should also be a bolt hidden near the door hinge. Just take your time and find them all. I have yet to do an FD fender, but have done a few FC fenders and have seen the bolts from digging around on my car

I'll look for those, thanks.
No need to remove the bumper.
3x10mm on top, in bay
1x10mm at top of door hinge area, door needs to be open to access
2x10mm directly under cooler vent, facing down
3x10mm nuts to bumper, access once headlight lids are removed
2 or 3 other screws and clips attaching fender liner to it, entire liner does not have to come out, just detached
