How do I remove the outer door panel of the Smart 451?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Door trim panel

In order to replace the outer door panel of the Smart 451, you need to loosen the screws that secure the rear-view mirror from the inside of the door. Once removed, you will need to lift the gasket located at the base of the window and loosen the screws located near the door locking mechanism. This will allow you to remove the handle to be able to lift the panel from the inside. As you continue to lift it, the panel will detach completely from the door. Once the panel has been removed, it can be replaced with a new spare part.

How to Remove the Front Headlamp of a Renault Clio

Remove the front headlamp of a Renault Clio. Open the bonnet by pulling the release lever and secure it; using a battery-powered screwdriver or a screwdriver, undo the securing bolts located at the top of the bumper. Once the screws at the top are undone, remove the splash guard bolts and finally remove the bolts at the bottom of the bumper. Carefully detach the bumper from the body of the vehicle. At this point, disconnect the headlamps from the body (undo the securing bolts) and the bulb holder from the headlamp. Fit the new headlamp with new bulbs if damaged (always ensure the correct type and size) and insert the headlamp into its housing. Finally, refit the front bumper and tighten the bolts.
