Highlight the url (except the http bit) and copy and paste into the address window - that seems to work but for some reason clicking on it doesn't.

side moulding just pull off pete,be gentle and prise them off, back bumper isnt to bad just dont forget the little screw that sits in the 2 o'clock position if you are looking at the wheel as its just tucked up in the arch and a bugger to get at.
