:boggle: i cant see where the difficulties are coming from. The outer arch trim is held on with bolts (about 8mm i think) you can feel these if you feel inside the arch. then the inside is the rivits as mentioned above and two bolts if i remember correctly. One by the bottom of the front bumper and another directly behind the hub area if your looking at it straight from the side. | |

if its the ones im thinking about, you pop the centre of them out which closes it alittle and lets the plastic rivit come out. somthing like a small philips screwdriver would do the job to pop the centre out. | |
