there are about 6 small bolts behin the arches ,which are easy 2 get off but its gettin to em , ule probably have to take ur wheels off one by one. i think all feckin arches should be sprayed from the start , iv u wanna rub em down while they are on then just be carefull and the mask up the surroundin area ahen u spray.

I found just jacking the car up gave you good enough acccess into the wheel arch to get em off. But they are abit of a bugger. Bit of Brute force is needed.

thanks lads for the help looks like i have a bit of a job ahead of me i will more than likely take em off an give them a good rub down and a good few coats of primer to prevent them from chipping a gain.
