im having them colour coded 2day and the guy said to make it easier hed like to take them off but the problem is the clips break apparently, i rang vauxhall and they say on this model there arent clips but like plastic nuts underneath the rubber arch shield thing anyone shed any light on this? would be good help coz he can do it cheaper instead of masking whole car off

There are T shaped bits which clip into the arch and plastic nuts which hold them on.

as long as you go steady taking them off and dont pull them off as hard as you can they shouldnt break  it will be a lot easier with them off the car

They are the worst design ever made....
I broke loads so in the end on my new arches from vaux before putting them on the car I used some very stong glue (Araldite) and glued the metal T screws into the holder then when they had set put them on carefully, one or 2 still did break though.

rear ones are not too bad once you take the wheel off but the front ones need the iner arch to be taken out. I find it easier to take the whole wing off then unbolt the arch.

Not easier to just tigerseal them back on? Ive found my front arches have a wavey affect and come slightly away from the body work...
