I've removed or rather snapped all the heads off the bolts along the underside of both the skirts but they are still solid along the top to the body of the car.
I see it's cut to shape so the front wing doesn't squash it.....so what am I missing ?
Don't want to pull them too hard and crack them.

Can you help please
Cheers

Nello's right, they are bonded to the body along the top and bottom as well, bodyshop just removed mine (with complaints :D)

Thanks for the replies.
After another look I guessed this maybe the case.

Come2dance, I want them off as I'm into a full resto project with it,plus they are both cracked underneath from where it's ground out and bent the supports.

Cheers guys

The Plus models have clips inside the skirt and holes in the sills(and mounts underneath that are not really needed although they do help) I do not know if they LE models have them as i was told LE's are bonded on?? 'if i get 5 mins i might have some pics of the plus set up...a big iff'

If you are doing a complete retso it might be worth sourcing some plus skirts and drilling holes in the sills so they can be removed easily for general maintanence and cleaning in the future.
