Ive done 2 of these now, My mother inlaw and my dads, Both times I removed the front panel,

It was slightly easier on my dads as he doesnt have aircon

4 inside each arch liner, 3 along the top edge of the bumper (under the grill), 1 next to each headlight, and 1 behind each of the lower grills so 15 in total. Don't forget the up clip the external temp sensor as well.
