Depends if they are tucked in behind the shocks, if so then it's a shocks off job.
they weren't on my 850. As said, a couple of pop-rivets to drill out & plastic nuts to undo & pull. I did get told (on an American forum) that there structural lolQuote:

as pedro says, 850 piece of cake or for the yanks a walk in the park, as for p2's, james's will always more complicated and will need it's own thread, to be able to remove a simple piece of plastic, probably including a video and a sh#t load of pics.......lol :0
yep handy enough split behind the shock

Wheel arch liners...... One big tug and they come off easily...!!! I suppose it all depends if you are going to refit them...??:mischievo
If you wouldn't all mind and that is ALL of you.......

Probably a sensible idea whilst then liners are out...:)Quote:

I did this, but yet to wax. I did the complete under side as well, rear rails where the exhaust hanger bracket bolts up is a favourite for rust. I also replaced the rear bumper brackets at the same time.Quote:

Definitely the time with these cars to start thinking about this, before they get as bad as peters restoration.
Have you got a link to your wax product? I want to wax the inner wings in engine bay.
Mine we're a paint in the bottom to remove, had to drill out one or two of the fixings as a previous owner had used some crappy screws. I sadly bent the top edge of mine which now annoys me everytime I look at it, so be careful.
Why did you put paint in your bottom? :yikes:Quote:
