Removing arches
Does anyone know how easy it is to remove wheel arches as i have order a new 90 and it comes with colour coded arches but i want to have plain ones.

Really easy,if you look at the mushroom type clip ( under the archers )there is a bit in the middle you push out,don't worrie about them falling out just pick them up off the floor and push them back in when refitting Thumbs Up
Cheers Ash

Just use a nail and a hammer to tap the pins out of the mushroom type clip as they can be stiff Thumbs Up NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

don't want colour coded arches, too much bling for a defender but want a colour coded roof Thumbs Up
How will that devalue it

Just take it offroad and brush into a few trees and the arches will remove themselves Thumbs Up

If you keep the originals and wrap them up nicely, when you come to sell you then have the set that's fitted and a nice shiny new set of colour coded arches to fit. Job done Thumbs Up 110 D250 SE HT

It's worth buying some spares before refitting as you'll inevitably lose some of the plastic pins when pushing them out. the part no is :MWC 9918PMA
