Wheel arch vents/grilles

[Big Ben]

Would like to remove my front wheel arch vents/grilles to spray them black as they are looking a little tired.

Can't find a How To thread on here.

Anyone know if it's just a straight pull em off job or is it get in behind the arch liner for a fiddle?

Thanks in advance

Ben

Oh dear...

Thanks for finding that Shuv.

I'll be getting a little cleaning brush instead lol

Or take it into a garage you hate and ask them to remove them ? Knowing if they snap they are responsible......

Did i really just say that

Wheels off arch liners out and do it from behind? Arch liners out is easy job - just pop out the clips.



Sometimes things are just easier getting in there from behind. Such a bloody snug fit in there.

I've always liked the approach from the rear. Gets you a good look at what needs doing
