    If i remember right from fitting my aerokit you have to give the skirt a good pull as it should only be attached by round clips much like the ones on the door cards if you have ever removed them.

    More than likely the clips will break so better to have new ones ready :)

    Sure someone else can give you better guide tho

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    Remember there are 4 pegs under the chrome strip as well You will need to prise off the strips with a scraper type instrument to remove them then just take a firm hold of one end and pull sharply away from the car. Most if not all of the plastic clips will break. They're designed to do this so don't worry

    Just fitted some Cooper S skirts on Friday. WD40 works great for removing the sticky tape on the sill trims.
