Could anyone shed some light on how to remove the covers, headlamps, etc., for painting...I've slit the silicone all around, but I'm a bit stuck now

Cheers!

From the rear (as the bishop said to the actress....!). Unscrew the GRP hatch in the wheel arch and remove that way. There's been quite a lot on this in the past including how you hold the whole lot in place whilst replacing the silicone, including, as far as I remember, inflating a car inner tube to hold the whole lot in place. Worth a search. Pete
