Best not to. Book it in, remove scoop the day it goes in, 8 bolts, have it resprayed PROPERLY, use plastic sheet to cover the scoop hole while it's off, refit it two days later, job done.

Mine got done three years ago 98 classic.

No worries... incase you need it here's the guide on getting rid of stone chips. Worked for me!

Bit of work but looks good in the end.

id take the bolts out take it off myself, rub it down, primer then paint it with halfords paint, they do every type of car colour codes in a tin, laquer it with 3 coats and jobs job install again after a couple of days after the paints hardened.

dont bother "touching up" as it will only p1ss you off because you will still be able to see it. as said, buy your paint, remove and do it properly first time. everyone knows a sprayer thats good, thats what i would do.
