Question Quick Question- rear spats, side skirt removal

Afternoon All

I'm removing these items today for colour coding, the side skirts have come off no problem at all but I have hit a snag with the rear spats.... Do I need to remove the entire rear bumper in order to remove these 2 spats off my classic ??
I don't really want to take the whole thing off if I can help it, you know what it's like half of those dreaded plastic clips will break and I have never removed one before, I don't know what it fully intails.
The only other option is to leave them on and have then sprayed in situ when the car goes in for some other little bits later.

What do you think guys ??

Si, just had mine done on a classic and apparently they do come off seperately...no need to remove the bumper, but the guy at the paint shop i used said they were a bast8rd to get off and put back on!!

Thanks Gav
Damn cold rolling around on the floor this weather !!

The trouble is you don't know if to keep pulling at them hoping they unclip or not, looks like there are screws holding them on, I'll have to get my overalls back on by the look of it.

There are 3 or 4 clips either side,if you undo the screws the spats will slide off,but they are a pain to get off and back on again, you will be able to do it no problem with a bit of patience
