without the little plastick holder pushers going evrywhere

plus where can you get those little plastic things from - don't say dealer @ £40 for 2

Thumbs up

On my '98 turbo there were about 6 bolts underneath, which I removed and replaced with stainless ones and seperate washers as a matter of course.
There are also two little push-in clips, the centres need easing out about 10-15mm with a point--something like a school compass does the trick, then the clip comes out. You don't need to get the centre right out.
Once you get to this stage, it's a case of easing the skirts off, there are a few push home clips along each piece, work slowly with a blunt spoon handle (eg,) to help ypu. Don't worry if you bust any, or lose 'em, I did both, and my local dealer sourced some in about 3 days, dirt cheap!

BTW: if you're taking the skirts off to colour-code them, don't forget to take off the black plastic trim along the upper edge. It doesn't take paint very well, and looks good left black
