Screw on the side sill beside where your elbow would go.. Take that out.
Get allen key and take the two bolts below the speakers out then the two along the top.
Pull forward - d/c everything from behind then once off take a screwdriver wedge in the back of the vents, and they pop right off
Oh and they are the same vents used on Lothian Buses - if that helps at all

I would have thought the Rolls Royce ones were made of some almost extinct animals teeth.

He says its genetic!
Is his car almost transformed?
Do you still have the exige or has it been replaced yet (and with what)?

£17 for a vent seems fine to me- I have been buying a pile of bits in the last week and found some comedy prices ; the shiny plastic bits that finish off the engine bay on the s1 exige - £440+vat please.
