How easy are they to replace? The driver side front on mine is well cracked...think it has been cracked since I got it but never noticed how badly cracked it was until today...

Driving to the airport on Tuesday I hit a small bump at high speed that I believe bottomed the nearside drivers suspension...a very loud bang but tyre and wheel are both fine...I suspect I may need to get the alignment checked but it drives fine and doesn't pull to the side...when I checked the patch of road that the incident happened on, I couldn't see any undulations or stones so really not sure what I hit.

Anyway, since then, when I go over speed bumps there is a sort of rattle noise...the underside of the car appears to be clean of any marks of scraping, but the driver side wheel liner is very loose, appears to have nothing at the bottom screwed into anything. I'm guessing as it has cracked, it has pulled itself out of the mountings. So I need to get a new liner...any idea on the part number and cost? Also, how easy is it to install?

Cheers.
 
It cost about twenty quid or so for a new arch liner for my GP, changing them over on any car is easy as well. Theres only ever about 8 screws max. holding them in place, 5 on the GP.
 
Anyone know the part number for the right hand front wheel liner please? I'm going to see if I can order it...Arnold Clark are quoting me £39.00+VAT - ouch!
