Good Morning Chaps, hope all is well.

Please could somebody advise as to how I take off my arches for spraying?

Would I be right in thinking I require 'Spat Rivets' to fix back on?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.
There are a couple of 6mm bolts at the bottom front and back edges and the rest are spats... you lose the pins so they need to be replaced.
I used stainess self tappers to replace the pins which makes it easier to get on/off in the future.

Thanks miktdish, whats the best way to loosen the pins, I have drilled them in the past, yet with them being plastic.

Click to expand...

Small hammer and thin punch or nail and tap the pin through

Like @Def90man said ....
There are a couple that are tight against the inner wing that need a bit of wiggleing but most will push through. Don't be tempted (especially in this cold weather) to pull to hard on the plastic arch as it snaps off around the hole...
