Is there a simple way to remove the front indicator units? I can't see how to get to the securing screws.

Some kind of minor prang in the past has deformed the metal surrounding the unit, which in turn means that everything is slightly misaligned (it looks worse in the picture below than it does in real life, but I'd still like to fix it).

I think the fact there is a FL front valance on a Chromie is what is causing the problem.

With a normal PFL front you can get to them (just)

As it is now its going to be bumper off but I guess that it is going to need a bit of straightening anyway
