I need to remove my skirts today, and as far as i can see they're held on by about 5 circular rivet type things, how do i get them off without breaking them?
Your help ASAP would be appreciated

on the underside, prise the circular things off, the studs they are held onto are part of the chassis
the top parts are just clicked on with clips. go easy, and it will all become clear as you go along

well said, just use a screwdrive to prise them off, they wont break. when putting them back on just push! it hurts your thumb but its easiest.
As for the clips u sust have to pull them off, they WILL break but will still hold the skirts on.

no, they are very hard to describe. they are like a pairs of clips, 4 on each side. these slot onto the car then the skirt clips into them. as i say hard to describe lol

Yeh i am now, i still go by what i say that i like the contrast of teh black parts on a red car, but i wanna colour code cos i have a rear bumper in my garage with damage to the plastic part, so i may as well use this and just get some new arches etc
