Wheel arches

I just took mine off today!
Fronts - take off 3 screws on wheel arch and then pull off the plastic slowly with your fingers.
Backs - just pull off with fingers.
Use a heat gun to heat up the foam tape that is left adhering to the wings. Rub it off with a cloth - it is messy and slow and you might burn your fingers. Dont use a knife or screwdriver as you will scratch the paint.
Clean glue off with white spirit and T-Cut.

Hope this helps
 
^^ Thats pretty much how I took mine off, few screws and peel them off. Door trims are only glued on too if you have them. Just curious, are you planning on putting aftermarket arches on or just prefer the look without them? I currently have none on and quite like the colour matched look.

This is the "After" Photo
 
I have problem with door trims ( is it the correct name?) as they have started to deform and the ends are already away from the metal. See photo.
As i understand i can remove them by applying some heat. Is it possible to glue them back after?

Yes they just peel off with some pulling. Although mine were pretty warped, I found once removed they warped even more. But I prefer the look without them anyway.
