ok underneath the sills you will see some screws...liberally spray these with some wd40 and unsrew them.
Next thing is to ease off the sills as they are held in place with 2 part clips. Be warned as they may break but you can easily buy some from a subaru parts dealer for a few pence, i ended up snapping about 3 of them but by the time i had prepped and undersealed both sils the new clips had arrived in the post ready for refit.
Hope this helps..

Japanese Performance Parts sell used OEM STi side skirts @£40 per side. But be careful with the clips, when i bought my car the previous owner had fitted bodykit side skirts and bonded them on. I am now about to refit the STi style ones and had to buy all the fitting clips....cost me £82 from the main dealer

£82 for the clips??? did u hunt on ebay? i just found some straight standard lookin side sills, one piece ones which are arriving ina few days, i will put them on the car before spraying and take some pics n see what ppl think before i go ahead as im a bit scared, dont want it taking away the natural scooby look
