Yes, yes, there is a trapdoor!

Not easy, you have to unlock the hood with the 2 levers provided for this, block it in the high position with a wooden slat, then remove the upper hatch covers.

The best thing to do is to put the fire down completely, it's quicker in the end.

In my case, the board melted slightly on the top bulb and therefore no more contact. A little plastic welding with a soldering iron and off we go again..😁

Good morning,

Not suitable for the mini convertible r52 116hp - 2007 model, there is no hatch or surround around the lights allowing its removal. By removing the interior trim?
