STEP 01

Remove the original scoop

Remove its Torx securing screw and keep it for reassembly. Compress the accessible clip ends and lift the scoop out. Note the six attachment locations rather than levering blindly against the painted panel.

STEP 02

Prepare the carbon part

Check whether an M5 screw is preinstalled on the back of the replacement scoop. The GP3 document says to remove it before lowering the scoop. Confirm that all six clips are already installed on the carbon part.

STEP 03

Latch and verify

Lower the scoop into the openings. Press firmly at each of the six clip locations until engaged, then inspect from underneath to confirm engagement. Secure the scoop with the original Torx screw as directed by the final instruction. Do not consider the visible top surface alone proof that the clips have latched.
