Default DIY Repairs to side of car

After a bit of off roading when I didn't realise my rear nearside tyre was deflating through a nail hole while on a roundabout, I have some loose bodywork.

It's the nearside side skirt - I think. Is that the bulbous bit fitted between the front and rear wheel arches?

Mine is now hanging down a bit at the rear.

It's a MY07

From searching posts it seems like it's usually held on by replaceable clips.

I'm happy enough to try sort it out myself, but would like an outline of the procedure.

It would be my first bodywork skills test since my MKII escorts as a youff

Yep, simply use clips to hold them in, from memory they are about 60p each from a dealer.

Just pop along explain what you need and usually they are able to find the part on the computer, can't rememebr how many you need but about 6 should do the entire length.

In fact, 'Clip SD Spoiler' 909140020 should be the part number unless they are different on a hawk

Thanks, I'll have a look into it.

I was worried there'd be more skills involved than screwdriver usage.

Looks like about six clips.

Is that a clip on the front tyre facing side? looks like it

This should be a job I can handle!
