12 - removing inner wheel arch 3 – 312 viewsAt the rear you have three hexagon headed screws (8mm) and the tricky one is tucked up just behind the mudflap. Its a plastic clip fixing, but you need to unscrew first with a Philips screwdriver, then use a pair of pliers to finish the unscrewing (as the screwdriver keeps pushing the clip back in)

10 - Removing the iiner wheel arch – 337 viewsThis is recommended by the Arnott's guide, (on the drivers side UK) in order to release air from the springs. Did this while taking a break from "The Tight One". There are three bolts on the body that protude through the arch, fixed with plastic nuts (10mm), these are in the recesses/dimples in the arch. Nearly all the rest of the fixings are hexagon headed screws (8mm), including the three underneath the body at the rear. You will also need to undo a few of the engine undertray screws to access the clips.
