   Basically..how do you remove the rear arches?
   
   What clips are strong enough to actually keep them on, also same with door cards what clips will keep then on as mine just keep popping off???

   If I remember rightly you need to remove the rear bumper because there is a bolt holding the two together and then there's also a bolt behind the rear door card. The rest is normally just clips although mine was glued at the edge so I had to rip it off in the end

   just replaced my clips with genuine new ones they like 12p each so a bag of 50 is like £6 they changed the design of them for the outer arches, the also do the front arches, door trims and sideskirts aswell the inner door cards again just use the standard ones from the dealer as again just done mine and spot on. there is one bolt holding the rear arch on and its hidden just under the edge of the rear bumper you can do it without taking the bumper off but its tricky. think its a 10mm or 12mm get under the back end and look up where the arch meets bumper you will see it.

   i just glued the door trims back on, taped on with masking tape overnight while the glue sets and not had a problem since.
   
   going to use a similar idea with the arches tbh
