Any advice on removing a vts body kit? I'm undersealing the whole car and there's a few broken tabs on the arches, just don't want to break anything else.

Also any idea on the clips used?so I can pre order them.

Thanks
Jordan

You can compress the clips at the back of the panel and remove them intact, if its the original clips the weak spot is where they slot in to brackets on the body kit, you could still buy them from citroen a few years back, could always pop in were only like 17p each last time i got some

Also the rear arches are often stuck with tigerseal so bare that in mind if you want the whole thing off, and theres nut you need to remove behind the panel

Yes the horrible black stuff [emoji23] I always fully strip everything axle fuel tank, subfame the lot, then jet wash and tfr the whole thing before undersealing, car's only done 31,000 miles but needs a new engine and gearbox long story, so full rebuild to keep forever [emoji106]. I have a billion new parts left over from a build that never happened so I don't mind the time.
