Help installing wheel arch trim?

I'm replacing the rear wheel arch trim on my Clubman after removing it to install a MiniDoMore hitch. After mangling the clips and the trim with my inept removal, I'm hoping to install the new trim and clips successfully. Does anyone have recommendations or know of a link that describes how to install the trim?

Slide the clips into the proper slots on the arch trim. Now take the arch trim and align the clips with the hole in the fender and press in. Hope that helps.

Thanks! That makes sense. I assume its best to start at the front end and work toward the back and then slide the rear connections into the slots on bumper last?

Yes, leave the bumper connections for last.
