Worry not - I don't want a bodykit smile

I was wondering how hard it is to remove a bodykit such as this? As the car otherwise is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for and seems to be in good nick otherwise.

Has anyone had any experience fitting or removing these? Are they clip on or will they be glued?

not knowing a lot about mx5, it looks like only skirts fitted? these could be bonded on, which will almost for sure result in a lower half repaint.
if they are not bounded, then make sure the metal under them is ok and not showing any signs of rust.

I take it you are talking about the side skirts ?

Most are fibreglass and are screwed bonded on so a pita to just remove ,tbh I like them and it wouldn't put me off buying one.

Yeah I meant the side skirts. They're not too bad I suppose, would rather get something more subtle though. I'll have to take a closer look!

The side skirts looks very much like the ones fitted to my '92 1.6 Mk1 - I'd query the statement in the add regarding "Full Body Kit" as it definately has only the side skirts fitted & is missing the front & rear bumper/spoilers, you can see below what the comlete body kit looks like:
