complete and utter pain in the arse. to be frank.

back ones are nice and easy and the fronts are a bee hatch.
8 mill bolts under the back arche i belive theres 5, just run your finger along till you can feel them, then just get your 8 mill socket out and then they should (SHOULD) pop off, same thing with the fronts...but the nuts are under the poo. so best bet is to get it on axle stands take the front wheels off take the mudsheilds out then you got better access, then front bumper is 2 bolts on top as you lift the bonnet, one bolt under the front arches, 3 bolts along the bottom and one in the actually arch. i belive there all 8 mill. hope it helps

before you even entertain undoing those plastic nuts, spray them with wd40 the night before u wanna take the arches off, then do same in the morning.

stops them twisting usually in the holder the other side.

and forgot to add dont go like a bull in a china shop when undoing the nuts too. gently turn the nuts. treat it like u wud treat a bugatti veyron lol
