I found that a thin, sharp blade, like a scalpel, was useful to slice through the sealant.

Got it off with a bit of violent persuasion. Getting he new one on is extremely difficult. I'm driving round with only the frontmost two bolts in the top of the wing under the bonnet. Seriously difficult to A) get the bolt holes lined up along the top and B) push the wing back far enough to get the bodykit lined up wih it's retainer screw under the door hinge. Any nore tips?
