You also need to disconnect the harnesses under the car on the right side (same side as the dccv). There are only two bolts that hold the shroud in.

There's a decent illustration of the harness connectors in the workshop manual. I use the pdf manual far more often as I don't want to get my laptop all greasy. I assume there's a link to it on the forum? If not I'll post one. It's 64 mb and 3316 pages, covers everything the jtis does(at least so far)

Hope that helps!
Mike

Let me know if you need more info
