Does anyone have information on removal and replacement of the exterior panels? I am planning on turning my red cabrio into a silver one and I would love to have the specifics in hand instead of going into it blind.

I just did mine and documented (although not in depth) but have uploaded a photo album to my page. Check it out, do not confuse this with a detailed how to guide though. Anyone else done theirs recently? Took me and a friend 5 hours from the time i started removing panels till completion. but it's done!
I just swiched the panels between my and my wife's car. She wants it yelow now . I did it my self without helpers. It was so easy! I spent 3 hours of my last weekend. ( but before I spent years to be a car mechanic, so all of these clips and panels jobs are not new to me)
The hardest part was a undedoor panel. It was hard to remove it without braking the clips.
I have a 10 photos uploded .
