| How to (dis-)mount wheel arches ? |
|
Hi,
to my fault i scratched my front right wheel arch a few days ago heavily.
So it has to be replaced due to cosmetical reasons.
I bouhgt a complete set in the UK ebay.
Can anybody tell me how they are going to be replaced ?
They are mounted somehow together with the inner plastic wing and are connected with some plastic bolts/screws.
Anybody who did that before and can tell me the steps of replacing ?
Thx in advance
Rgds

They are both screw and clip mounted.
Undo the screws under the guard, make you have done all of them.
Then pull.
A good idea would be to get some spare clips incase you beak some.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Daniel....just a question, but when you ordered your D3 did it actually come with anything fitted to it?
You seem to be buying up spares of every conceivable part faster than LR's suppliers can make them

Rebuilding my D3 . No. I have a fully painted D3 (Not my choice but it was a good bargain if you can say that with the prices the D3 cost) so I want to replace it with unpainted arches. As I'm going fairly offroading not very handy.
