As title. Best way to remove `em please.

They are held on with plastic spring clips. IIRC hand on the top and push them down then pull out at the bottom

If they are anything like the rear spoiler I have just removed they will be a pain in the neck.

I used a combination of heat and scalpel blades, but that was with boot lid removed, placed on a workbench and in a nice warm garage.

If it is stuck on with that black goo, then I wish you the best of luck.

Perserverance is the key here, I did my spoiler over about 3 evenings so I did not get bored or over enthusiastic and break something.

skirts shouldnt be fitted with goo or 'no more nails' or whatever its called, should be fitted with the white spring clips and if you're lucky you can get away with removing the skirts and being able to salvage all the clips for refitting

Standard skirts are fitted with clips. I assume Rob is referring to the the Irmscher ones he has come by.

aye but if fitted properly/from new then they should have utilised the same clips without adhesive

I bow to the knowledge of the person with the Irmscher bits.

Both off Piece of pi$$. Didn`t even snap any of the clips on the body, and I didn`t lose the "popper" pins for the endcaps
