So I had a "wee" encounter with a small low wall and need to repair my wheel arch body kit, best way to repair it will be with it off, does anyone know how to remove the wheel arch section.
MH is a 2007 Bessacarr E560

Looks pretty minor Bart, I'd start with a T-Cut in situ and see how you get on. G'Luck

Nah its broken the plastic arch, so will need fibreglassed from the rear of the arch and then plastic filler used to repair it on the outside.

Well it may be over clips on the top and screwed/rivited underneath bit like a clam section that swings out from underneath. Have good look for the screw/rivets from below remove them then swing it upwards????

There is one screw underneath the arch at each end which goes through the arch section and into the panel trim beside it

That's where I'd start

We still on our trip away atm, but will be looking to pull it off when we return, looking to pick people's brains here to see if anyone had removed / replaced any body kit parts from a similar MH before.

I would ask the people who built it - they might just know.

Maybe, but I would respond that their dealers are not body-repairers and that I would consider that answer inadequate 'Customer Support'

If you can get to the Manufacturers Workshop Manager - he has no connection with the Dealer network and would probably happily give you a quick answer to get you off the phone.

Fortunately with N&B we owners do have contacts like that. Also their own workshops are so busy, and the UK dealer has a poor reputation, that they do not want people booking in for a tiddly repair so are happy to help.

Mobile smart repairer can fix that, ring your local motorhome/caravan dealer and ask who they use as they will be used to doing plastic trims.
