Ah right thanks I'll have a look when it stops raining. Just the one? It's such a pain if the wheels had to come off with it being slammed haha. Did you get sorted with gumtree?

Two clips on side of them but then along the bottom there is a self tapper or a bolt going up into the bumper

These clips, are they literally just clips that I force off or clips that use bolts or a screw? And for the self tapper do you mean directly under bumper like parallel to the ground?

Literally just small spring steel clips that you can force off (mine are quite tough). It might be that yours are on with self tappers and screw into the bumper.

If you run your hand down the inner arch of the car you will feel either clips or screws on the mudflap.
Continue down onto the bottom of the mudflap there will be a recess and a small semi circle of the mudflap flush with the bumper through this a self rapper will have been driven up into the bumper.

I used a m8 bolt and type d washer on mine as the plastic was damaged and the screw wouldnt take hold.

I had my wheels off too it does make life ALOT easier haha
