2022 Side Scuttle Part Number?

Someone put the new scuttles on his F56 ICE, requiring some Bimmercode changes. Looks pretty easy though, and the halogen signal bulbs get replaced with LEDs. He got the red "S" scuttles for his ICE MINI, so not the exact part number needed for the SE.

 
In anticipation of my SE's arrival, I'm planning some visual modifications. It looks like the parts above are particularly tricky to track down, so I'm thinking about popping off my chromed scuttles and painting or covering the chrome. From the video above, it looks like the old scuttles had one clip and were easy to pop off, but the new scuttles have two. Has had any luck removing theirs, and could you offer any tips you learned from the experience?
 
There's very little chrome in the 2021 scuttles - just the silver E shape that goes around the highlighter yellow plug shape logo. If you're anticipating arrival, it sounds like you'll have the 2022 version that are chromeless anyway. If you do have a 2021, popping then out is pretty easy - just slide a flat plastic tool (I used a nonstick dish cleaning thingy) down from the top to depress the clip. Don't force it - if you do it right it should pull out easily. I did accidentally lose a clip into the bodywork (I put in the sequential LED version), so be careful!

Those new indicators are currently a bit pricy, but I'll switch to them when the cheap versions come along.
