Skirts are nice and easy to remove. It's the rivet and pin type on the underside, these can be removed in one piece, there will be 2 small clips on the rear arch, had to break mine off, so worth ordering 4 replacements. The skirts then just pull off the white clips you can see in the above pics. These clips can break really easily too, and the skirts don't sit right if any are damaged.
Here's my arches after a quick scrub..

Been a while since I've done any kind of update..
This patch of rust has been slowly spreading over time...

Got lucky and found a replacement painted in the correct colour...



Just need to get the glass fitted, and swop it all over now.

I remember seeing this post when you got this and thinking what a nice car this was.
Eight years ago already though! The older I get, the more time flies.
