Doors and door glass forget it.

Bonnet, bootlid, front wings, bumpers and valences are all OK.

For OBC removal, have a look in the articles section, there's a fitting guide in there, basically, follow all the wiring from the back of the OBC unit, and remove everything it connects too, easy enough, but fiddly!

In that case, it won't be a problem! :P

The OBC unit can be a pain to remove as it's screwed in from behind, but a little leverage on the heater surround with a screwdriver will see it out in no time! :twisted:
