How to remove side skirts on a 996TT

[roshambo]

Hi all.

Posted for a friend.
He wants to remove his side sills & get them painted body colour (they are standard black plastic)
Is removing & re-fitting an easy job? Held on by a few bolts ?

Any advice / tips for getting them on/off welcome.

Thanks,

Ro.

There are 2 screws at front of skirt (in wheel arch) and 2 screws at rear (in rear wheel arch) undo those, then there are 3 or 4 screws underneath the skirt which you also undo, the next bit is a little tricky, If I remember correctly you have to let the skirt drop and slide out from the car, away from the car (be very careful as the lugs can easily break off)

Good luck!

Thanks Stevo! Will pass that on.
Take it there are no special tools needed to remove it.

Ta,
