Title: Wheel Arch
Post by: Lee Watson on 09 May 2005, 16:23

Hi all

Need some more help need to fit a new plastic wheel arch on a MK2 GTI 16v 1990.

Had a quick look at the weekend and they look like rivets that hold it on if thats the case do you need a special tool
to fix one?

Cheers

Lee

Your probably best using rivets to fix the arch on as you get a nice tight fit with no damage to your metal arch. The old rivets will drill out easily and putting new ones in is a doddle if you have a rivet gun which are very cheap to buy.
