.........and on again? i would like to check the condition of the body work underneath it see if any muck or rust is lurking

Its easy. Be careful not to crack it though. The pods you pull the centres out of the plastic rivets, then pull the rivet out. Lift the pods slightly and slide back. Then they will come out. Door pods undo from the under side of the doors. Then prise off as they are cliped tightly. Front; remove the lower bit first by first doing the sides. Steer the front wheels to get in at the bots. Free them up first or they can twist the plastic and crack it. Then undo the rivets under neeth, and pull it off from the clips running along the top of it. Then use a T55 head to undoo the bolts holding on the bumper. Undo connections (indicators) and slide it down the bumper guides. Back bumper just use a T55 again, and slide it off as a unit. You will need to pop out the tow cover caps to acess them. For skirts do them fron under the car and also at the ends. Oh and on the door pods remembe the nut acessed from the end of the door inside the car. Do it all carefully and its well worth it.
