bump as i dont really want to try and damage it / not be able to get it back on, can it even be removed without damaging it? thanks.

Cut through the plastic rivvets on the sill, and then lift the skirt up, and it'll come away from the brackets that hold it on.

Drill

Really? And how do I fit back the side skirt?

Yep drill them out. I used metal tapping screws to fix them back up.

That's drilling the hole out first with an 8mm bit. Don't screw straight into the metal!

What about rivets?

 

[fairm010]

Rivets will work just as well.

Ok sorry to ask stupid questions. There is one bolt inside the wheelarch that turns like mad and doesn't come out. I guess this is bad news?

Yep, thread isn't biting. You're best to drill it out.
