Plastic arch rivets..... Which ones?

Post by stu21t » Thu Jul 10, 2014 1:39 pm

What plastic rivets do I need for my wheel arches?
I've had them sprayed and most of the rivets broke when they were removed so I want to buy a whole new set.

Also for the side steps, what do I need for those as they are coming off for paint soon.

Are these the right ones?

You also have some smaller ones on the rear arches, they are quite cheap from the dealer and you also need a plastic rivet gun to put them in.

Thanks mate,
Are the larger ones the same style?

The flange on the ones above are 20mm, any idea what the others are?
And how many of each?

Thank you
