    Yes they are held in by plastic clips,I use a trim clip remover tool that way you won`t break the clips.

    Steve.Edit 1 of these Halfords sell them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-DOOR-T...item5d2f4f7538

    The black plastic part is called the arch liner, it's held on by clips which will probably break when you pull them off.

    I think that's the part you're talking about?

    Be careful when undersealing mate as if you underseal them with the hammerite stuff then put the arch liners back in they often rub part of the seal off as it doesnt dry fully.

    Theres also 1 torx screw just under your front bumper for your arch liners & then like 4-5 clips

    When you take them off its harder to put them on and to stay on, removed mine some time ago to fit some 17 inch wheels, then bought some vts's, put the gaurds back on and then going down a dual carriageway, driver side flew off, then week later in Wales, passenger side flew off!
