Yes, I read the OEM fitting instructions PDF online and the plastic torx screw holder looked a bit fiddly so I replicated a similar idea, except I did mine all from the outside without having to fold the liner back.

It was a bit tight for space without removing the rear wheels, but with the aid of a short torx bit, ratchet ring spanner to turn it, and a flexible drill bit holder, it all went very easy.

The Chinese flaps actually came with a bag of new screws (pozidrive), washers and metal clips for the fourth screw to grip, but the original torx are reusable and my plastic clip idea worked a treat!

Just about to order a V90-specific polished stainless steel rear bumper protector from Germany with the money I saved on the flaps, again a big saving, OEM £95, German equivalent £45.
