I want to refit the passenger wheel arch trim that is closest to the door.
I have 3 grey clips, a black clip and the black spacing rectangle as new parts. Two good grey clips remain stuck in their wing holes plus one broken black one. One old grey clip is completely detached, leaving a hole for the new clip.

What is the method? Do I cut off the old clips with a sharp blade, slot the new set of clips into the arch trim, then push the whole assembly into the wing, snapping the clips into place? Or is there another way?
