Use the second bit that you where using. When the rivit spins, don't worry about it just keep the 'hammer down' on the drill. She'll come right through. Just takes a few seconds.

What he said. Let it spin all it wants. The heat the spinning rivet makes will make it push right through the plastic, with no ill effects.

man o man rookies,LoL,just joking,ok get a pair of regular plyers and just pinch the the rivets on the undeside of the fenders making them shrink causing them to be able to come out....Worked for me in 10 min s got em all out
