Rivet gun
Small Hacksaw.

This is a simple fairly quick job,

No3 Clean up the area prior to fitting the replacement splash shields.
No4 Open the packet of the Nylon rivets, here you can see what the rivet looks like prior to fitting

Insert the rivets one at a time into the new shield flap and position on fender

I found my normal rivet gun did not have a large enough hole for the new nylon rivet shaft so found an old rivet gun and drilled out the hole to accept the nylon pin. This saved more expense of having to purchase a nylon rivet tool.

No5 hold the back of the rivet and using the rivet gun pull up on the pin shaft until it snaps off

Replace the lower fender rubber back on the fender and you're done :)
Looks much better.
