F10 stuck on a rock

Does anyone know how to remove the outer sill cover, item 1 here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...01&hg=51&fg=16
I have a dent in the underside and the repair will be easier to accomplish with the cover off the car.

I guess by pulling out the expanding rivets - items 2 and 5 in your link.

Quite so, the only problem is accessing said rivets. I've had a quick look, but you can't see them so I'm now guessing they'll be behind the front wheel arch liner.
Any other ideas welcome - thanks.

As I suspected - not quite as easy as it sounds

. Looks like the front wing has to be removed in order to access the rivets.
