The screw that slides into the wheel arch trim, 9 times out of 10 they're broken. You'll have a few screws on the front slam panel, and a few more under the front.

the wheel arches were stuck on with evo stick when i got the car as it was hella low
screws on the BENT slam pannel are a mixture of screws iirc, self tapping ones i think
and the few under the front should be ok

so is there no specific screw that goes in the lugs then?
cheers

There are about 5 or 6 phillips and torx under the front behind the splitter.
The one that go into the slam panel.
The ones that are behind the front of the arch plastics. 10mm plastic nut accessible from the inside of the arch. They're the tricky ones that normally break.
