Default X358 side vents removal

I need support from somebody with more experience than me :-).

I recently bought a "Senior X358 - 2008" , but new car for me. I want to chrome my side vents but I do not want to break them when removing.
Is there any trick before pushing it out ? I tried to find a method investigating in the forums but I did not find.

Any reponse is welcome.

Thanks

Rafael

You need to remove the wheel arches, then unscrew and unclick them from inside.
There are two option: chrome covers only on your vents or new full chrome elements. When it comes to side vents, chrome side mirror covers go hand in hand
