Might want to expand on that mate and not be so vaige.

Front or rear?
Why not break the old one as you have a new one?

Theres plastic nuts on the inside of the arches, 10mm maybe. Take the wheels off for easy access otherwise its a bitch. Some are hidden under little plastic flaps which you need to pop open.

To be honest thinking of the amount of hasle alot of people would just pull the archs off (the clips that hold them on snap very easily) and then just use tigerseal or some sort of powerfull adhesive to stick the new ones on. When i do mine they will done the same way as the clips are prone to breaking.

peace of cake to fit as said remove wheels and arch liner then there s 7 10mm nuts holding the trims on if you do break a clip removing it move to next one and when its off just get some mole grip on the metal part and remove bolts and refit as removed
