Help - removing black plastic water/hookup panel?

[thehorse]

Hi All,

Someone dented my rear wheel arch while it was parked at the airport the other day. Waiting to see if I can get CCTV. Really P*ssed off!

It will most likey need a trip to the body shop for a repair. The damage is close to the black water/hookup panel, so ideally this would need to be pulled out slightly so it doesn't leave a paint line.

Do these just pull out or are they held in from the other side? The gas tank was in the way, so I think it would be tricky if there are screws that need undoing.

Aside from that anyone recommend a good body shop?

Had a good experience with Citygate. Bodyshop is located next to Chalfont and Latimer station so easy access to London transport to and from. Good communication and excellent quality workmanship.
