    A little bit brute force, sounds horrible but it’s the only way. The clips are strong so don’t worry about them breaking. Also I take it you’ve undone the bolts 1 in the arch and 2 under the original splitter?

    Yeah I’d removed the two bottom bolts and arch bolt, the plastic is extremely thin in the bumper hence me looking at bumper removal to get at the clips to properly release, I think the clips are stronger than the bumper

    Definitely not a bumper off job. Fitted loads, pull the upper arch off and it’ll give you better access to the original splitter. If you’ve got a trim tool give it a shot.

    Yep I’ve got a set of trim tools from my Audi days, when you say upper arch do you mean the plastic outer wing trim or the arch liner?
    If the rain stops I’ll have another go at it

    No the arch trim. Just gives you a little bit more room. Won’t need to take it all the way back
