R52/53 wheel arch trim

Does anybody know if I need any additional parts when replacing rear wheel arch trim on a 2006 S?

You'll need to replace any that get broken removing the trim piece being replaced.

The clips seem pretty standard across all cars. In case you break one, I've seen them at local auto part stores

They come with the clips, the only thing they might need is that little nut on the front cover , it screws into the end. If you still have it on the old one or have it from the old one your ok then. 51131505867 51131505866 51131505865 51131505864 51131505869 51131505868

The part is here



This looks pretty straightforward; all the bits seem to match up. Any advice from anyone who has done this?
