Remove Front Wheel Housing Liner
Remove Side Skirts
Remove (2) bolts holding bottom of fender to car (directly behind wheel well under where the front of side skirt was)
Remove (3) bolts holding fender to car in door jamb area (open door to access)
Remove (2) bolts holding front edge of fender to front bumper (at seam between fender/bumper right behind headlight)
Remove (4) bolts holding fender to car along top edge under hood
Done

Bentley Manual devotes a whopping (3) pages to detail Fender Removal/Install - not hard at all

Thanks man, are these steps from the manual? Body shops quote me for removing bumper and headlight also, are they necessary?

Not exactly - I expanded on the manual. Manual shows pic of fender with location of bolts & says remove

Not necessary to remove headlight or bumper - I've had both fenders off my car using steps I listed above.

Sent you a PM...

Does the side skirt need to come completely off?

To make it easier and less of a hassle, yes. The sideskirts cover 2 bolts on the lower side of the fenders.
