Default wheel arch lining

Mine fell off on the A2 (relatively worrying experience) I have got a new one and I'm wondering how to attach it. Is it those pop rivet thingys and if so what is their real name and where do you get them from??

Thanks

John

Daphne: ebay sell them enter "trim clips", or Subaru trim clips", BUT they come in different sizes, so unless you knw what size, buy a bag of different ones, mine werer £4.99 for 15.

Tony: try people breaking cars on here, breakers, or ebay.

£25? Each?

You've got a lot of disposable income then?

..........Err no ! Amazon has declined my kids prezzies on my credit card this year so not in a good position...

Back to the post by Tony Beau then.

Arch liners (those big plasticky things) for some strange reason are one of those things that are quite cheap to buy from a Stealer....

OK, right.

But we'll have to agree to disagree: they are ABS or similar and fall off a moulding machine about 20 a minute.

So £25 for one is overcharging, IMHO, when you can buy a plastic aircraft kit with over 400 parts for the same..........

....compare the arch liner to an STi winglet bought from a dealer. Now that's overcharging. LOL
