Managed to remove the rusty screws from underneath but don't want to pull too hard at the top and break something.
Thanks all..

I seem to recall mine being bonded on as well, so you might need to try and slide a blade or thin screw driver (or trim removal tool) between the plastic and body.
Obviously they also pop under the arch trims so they need to be a bit loose too.

Undo the screws underneath.
Flex the lower part free away from the underneath.
Now give a sharp upward blow to pop the skirt off the locating clips.

Plus riveted to the bumper section at the wheel opening.
and screws various under the trim and one into the a clip on the side. Which you will see once the side skirts are off.

Back on it today I moved on to the n/s skirt to
find it held on with round plastic discs. Slightly confused I grabbed a screwdriver and levered one out and out popped a Xmas tree clip. GENIUS.. Whoever put those in i thank them. It was a nice snug fit, easy to remove, and no rusty bits.Difference of 5mins to remove one side and 2 hours the other

I usually like to do things by the book but will definitely be using these to refit the skirts as they are so much easier to remove and fit really nice and tight.
They also look pretty inconspicuous as well.
Hope this saves someone some precious time and money in the future.
Cheers.
