Hi,
The bootom clip is removed by pressing the centre gently using something like a screwdriver this will pop out the centre section. When refitting it`s a good idea to spray this with WD40 to aid re-assembley, just push the centre bit back in and it will lock back automaticaly. The clip you have holds the inner most part of the flap to the sill.
Hope this helps

Cool

Fitted these a couple of weeks ago. Surprised you did not get the fitting instrutions with them. To get the clip without the crosshead out I used the tip of a pocket knife. Placed a cloth under the flat of the blade on the sill/clip and used the point to pop up the center part. The clip will then just pull out. The small metal clips are for the inner bottom corner of the mub flap. Once the mud flap is held on with the two original clips it becomes fairly obvious where it goes. It requires to be pushed on from inside the wheel arch, over the top of the flap and in behind the sill with the two raised corners behind the sill to stop them coming of.

Was surprised with the amount cr*p they stop from spraying up the side of the car.

Al.

Question

Jonesy
If you don't mind me asking how much were they? I think rally style mud flaps would look spot on, but don't fancy paying the £200 - £400 quid that Graham Goode or Scoobymania are looking for.!!

Thanks for the info. chaps. The flaps have now been sucessfully fitted. They said they didn't come with fitting instructions

Andy, they cost £8.50+vat each from my dealer, but they're only for the front and are quite small - Do the job though

Cheers
