this is for people that have snapped the studs by removing there rear or front arch trims, its far better than sticking the replacement trims on as they can be unbolted again

get some 6mm stainless nuts n bolts, grind the head of the bolts so they are around 1mm in thickness or slightly less, so they sit inside the inner part of arch trim.
fix the bolts over the top of the existing snapped ones and use some epoxy resin such as araldite or similar to hold them in place

leave till its cured then bolt them back in place as you normally would, but DO NOT overtighten the nuts.

its also a good idea to apply a little grease over the bolts as this will make future removal nice and easy.
