OK, these should be about the easiest thing ever to fit but ...

The instructions do not explain how to remove the fixings in the wheel arch liner, one is easy, it has a philips head, the second doesn't (I've checked both sides). How do you get it out, I put a flat blade screwdriver behind it and all that happened was a little piece broke off.

Help please, someone else must have fitted these!

Just push the middle in. The clip then releases.
To refit push the centre pin back the other way, before refitting the clip, so it protrudes into the wheelarch, fit the clip then push the centre pin flush with the head of the clip.

It worked, they look great (and hopefully keep some of the mud off the side of the car).

MTR, thanks again M8, thats made my evening (even though it was freezing in the garage!!!).

Forgive my ignorance if this has been asked before.
P1 Style mud flaps
1. What do they look like? (Pics Please)
2. Where can they be bought?
3. What do they cost?
4. Would they fit MY98 Type R 2DR OK ?
Thanks in advance for any replies

1. No pics I'm afraid, they are like normal mud flaps except smaller (errr does that help?)
2 I got mine from Cheam Motors.
3 8.50 each (17 for a pair then..)
4 Probably

Hope that helps!
