In conjunction with another topic I have running “Mudguards” I’ve looked at the placement of the mudguards and on the front wheel arches there appears to be some kind of wheel arch liner extension, sitting where the mudguards would be secured. Having found some (admittedly pot quality) images from scouring Google, it appears that these plastic parts would need to be removed and then fixed back on top of the mud guards. I’ve taken a look but they seem to secured with plastic rivets, which I’m not sure how to remove. There are various types of rivets on google with different methods of removal and application, but was wondering if anyone on here has removed there’s or knows the best way to remove these specific rivets? Cheers I’ve included some images to help clarify what I mean. 

The bit in the middle, take a small screwdriver and push it through, then you should then be able to pry the round bit out like a normal plastic rivet.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Have you done this too or do you just recognise the type of rivet? Either way you’ve been a great help. Thanks. 

Yes I had to do it when I put mudflaps on my A4 last year. 

Brilliant. Cant beat some real world experience. Thanks pal. And appreciate the prompt responses. Will now mark this as resolved (solution).
