Undertray repleacement

Hello all, my first post to MBWorld, thanks for letting me post.
Has anyone replaced the undertray on a W212 E250 Estate before. This undertray is the compressed fibre panel that runs the length of the driver and rear passenger floor space, offside in the UK. Most of the fixings appear to be bolts or nuts but there are two or three, what appear to be plastic rivets or flush clips that i cannot remove and i am not sure how to replace them. Any thoughts or help welcome.
:wall
regards Simon

There are about 8 plastic nuts and two metal bolt and 1 screw and 3 plastic push holders. you need #10 wrench and #8 wrench for nuts and bolts a weird screw driver for the screw and a small flat head screw driver for the push nuts and small pry bar Slide the small flat head screw driver into the center of the posh nut and pry the center up. Grab it with your fingers or small pry bar and remove the other part should come off now. removal takes about 10 minutes each for both sides.

Thankyou all done, replaced

Thank you dbldpr, it was probably more about the confidence to use a screwdriver to release the push holders when you don't know what they are
