RG Sport - F16 X6 Side Fender Trim DIY

I know that F16 X6 guys are very shy and not that active. But don't think that I would forget you guys when I got a chance to play with one.
So here are the pictures and simple instruction on how to replace it from silver or chrome to the gloss black one or vice versa.

The steps are as simple as follows:

1. Lift the front of the car and remove the wheels.
2. Look inside the rear wheel well and locate the back of the side fender trim.
3. Locate the 3 clips that are holding the trim in place.
4. Use flat screwdriver or pick to lift the clip locking mechanism and slide the trim out.
5. Replace the new one on and make sure all 3 tabs securely clips in.

Here is the picture of the clips and side trim being replaced.

Thanks for bumping this and the message.

I had tried searching but I was using "vents" instead of trim.

I just went out and looked on my 2017 and I am pretty sure you don't have to take the wheels off (was this just said joking around?). While I can't get my head in to see, I could feel the clips and I took my phone made a video on the inside and pretty sure all three clips could just be done by reaching in and popping off.
