Rear wheel arch replacement?

Anybody know how to replace the rear wheel arch trims?

I have a spare but need to know how to replace it really, no mechanics skills.

I would say its held on with three screws. One under the bumper, another a bit further up under the wheelarch, and the third at the bottom of the wheelarch on the right hand side. If you unscrew those, it should just pull off. The trims seem quite flimsy, so give it a go.

And a prize for the first one to install painted ones! Must crank up photoshop to see how it would look...

Not yet; not had the courage to do it yet. I also don't know if I have the tools or anything. I'm more than a novice at this thing and not quite sure what I'm doing, but it will be tackled soon!
