I am wanting to tidy up and paint my plastic side trims and skirt. What is the best way to remove these on a S3 sud before I break some unobtainable clips?
Any tips appreciated.

Re: Series 3 Sud plastic side trim
With regards to the sill trim if you look underneath you should see some clips shaped like a cross.
If you carefully turn them 1/8 of a turn (45 degrees) and wiggle them out with a pair of pliers.
They are a square peg in a square hole so when fitting they are pushed in and turned an 1/8 of a turn to lock them in.
The sill trim is hung on the top clips so if you pull the sill trim upwards it should lift off.
The top clips can be removed the same as the bottom one by turning 1/8 of a turn an pulling out.
Good luck
