Rear Wheel Arch trim removal?
« on: 11 May 2008, 14:33 »
Hey,

How hard is it to remove these?  Will I be able to shave a bit off them to stop my new rear wheels scrubbing?  They are the wrong offset hence the scrubbing  :sad:

i've just this second removed all of my wheel arch trims, easy peezy. u need to drill the metal rivets (using a small bit)  then pull them off, u'll need to get some CL or driver trim to replace the corners. if your rims are too bit you may have to have your arches rolled. i found one rust scab and one dent  lurking beneath mine which i need to get sorted
