Editing Remove the rear clamshell (section)

== Top tips ==

*Find somebody that can write in English, or at least sentences, to make a how-to guide. This was worse than useless because first of all, IT'S FOR AN S2!!! Secondly, I spent more time translating this guide than actually finding anything that I didn't already know.

*Not all the cars have the same fixings (early/late S1s for example) so there may be different / missing steps not mentioned here or in the service manual. Likewise, the service manual doesn't mention disconnecting the boot release cable from the clam, pulling free the co-located drain hose (because it doesn't need to be removed?) or that you have to prize the numberplate off to get to the rear centre attachment. 

* Worth removing the edge finisher (rubber trim) around the air intake grills, they may be glued on and are attached to the rear clam and the sill panels.  If they are glued and you try to remove the clam they will probably tear (although if they are glued you will probably have to replace anyway, part no A111U6034V).

* Replace the standard zinc bolts & washers with quality Stainless Steel ones. Speedy Fasteners [http://www.speedyfasteners.com Speedy Fasteners Web Site] or [http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Speedy-Fasteners Speedy Fasteners eBay Site] sell S1 and S2 clamshell kits.
