Rear plastic wheel arch replacement - Halmer
Can anyone advise me how easy it is to replace these please.

They seem to be attached by one nut and a clip in/velcrose type of arrangement. I'm not sure whether an adhesive of some sort is used as well.

Thanks

I'm following this because you have been so pleased generally with this car. What happened? A scrape? No other probs, are there?

Believe it or not next door's cat decided to use my car as a scratch pad and made a right mess. Luckily it concentrated on the plastic bit not the metal bit.

Car itself has been absolutely impeccable.

Hence my previous thread

I've been told that a sponge ball cut up into small bits and mixed with tuna will deter it for life. Pity I'm an animal lover!
