Hi, I am going to replace the sill and front arch trim on my mk1 and have ordered new trim, please can someone let me know if this just 'clips' on or is there a way of fixing? and I have read that of the trim is soaked in warm water first? And lastly - this may seem a dumb questions but what is the best coolant to use on a standard 848? many thanks.

Personally I find the hot water method OK.
I usually put a blob of Araldite at the end of each strip.
Any old antifreeze whatever I have to hand.
