alritey,

how do i go about getting the plastic wheel arches off my corsa b? is it an easy job?

my plan is to colour code the car myself...had planned to go to the scrappies n get a set of wheel arches n spray them then swap them for the ones already on the car...you think its worthwhile doing this or just masking up the arches on the car and spraying them while they are still attached?

cheers

Its fiddly, but not hard.

There's loads of bolts holding them in, behind the plastic inner arch, can't remember how many there are, but they're easy when you find them, just a bit tight to get to...

i sprayed my plastic arches satin black because they were proper faded! i took the back two off and sanded down, primed and sprayed then put them back on, had to remove the wheels though! with the front two i couldnt get the arches off so i masked them up and sprayed them, was fidley but well worth it!

I think the rear spats have 6 attachments and the front have 5.
