   Just received a replacement trim to go under the headlight as mine was cracked.
   
   How do i remove the old one and fit the new one?
   
   Does it require me to take the headlight unit off first?
   
   Cheers

   How did you get the clips into the wing? When i just push it in it bends back and the white clips dont go in the hole

   or you have a non genuine trim, they are notoriously poor fitting

    Not if they came from me , the ones I had were a very good fitment. As for the clips these are a nightmare I have found soaking them in hot water for a while to soften them up is really helpful

    Where can you get the clips from? I tried some from Halfords on mine but didn't seem to fit.
