Hi,

I have just bought some wheel arches from ebay for this model to replace my old grey ones. How easy is it to replace these wheel arches - does anybody know?

Thanks

No idea how to remove them, but you could have saved yourself some money by restoring the original ones with a heat gun, as per described in the following links.

they are held in place with 10mm headed plastic nuts which also hold the linner in place easy to change but you are likely to get grubby because the reccess fill up with road dirt
