Hi steve,
all pretty straight forward. you need to undo all the screws and plastic rivets around the insode of the wheel arch. the rivets are removed by pulling out the inner plug then the outer plug/holder. sometimes they can get pretty damaged so getting a few spare rivets is worth it. they are not expensive.
Then you just pull the wheel arch off a set of little poppers that run around the wheel arch and the body work. Again getting a few spare poppers may be worth doing.
The new arches then fit on and attach in revearse sequence.
sorry, I dont have any pictures except this one. you can just see the poppers around the left hand wheel arch. whilst youve got the wheel arches off its the ideal time to remove the rear bumber for any cleaning etc
