with lots of swearing...
Front arches are clipped on though the wings, I think best way would be to take wheel lining off push them out from behind, there is also a screw at the very bottom under the car.
Door Panels are clipped and glued on, I think I used something to prise mine off must take care not to damage the panel or the door though.
The Rear arches I think are just clipped on there may be some glue too, Iv never taken the rears off before.
The Side Skirts are clipped on and I think there is a few screws again haven't taken them off before.
For refitting I would suggest you first buy a load of new clips from citroen as you will have broken 90% of them by removing them and get something like tiger seal to glue to panel back on.

Pretty sure that on the rear arch there is a bolt going through the body,which needs undoing from inside the car.

Looks like you need to take the rear bumper off first to get to a fixing thats hidden behind it.

Skirts have a load of torx bolts underneath, once they are removed it's held on by clips.
Door panels are held on by clips on brackets, just go slowly prising them away with a flat head screwdriver.
Rears are also held on by clips with the exception of 1 bolt that can be undone by removing the rear door card and your see it.
As above, go to citroen before hand and buy a load of new clips, the majority of them break.

Renew all your clips if your taking the body kit off. Last thing you want is a slightly slack panel rubbing away at your paint.

Front vt arch is just clips
Door vt is just clips and glue
rear 1/4 is 2 bolts where the arch clips under the bumper and behind the door. clips and glue.
Not had the side skirt off but looking at it, its torx and clips.

Ironically, I actually posted this in the wrong thread for some reason. I'd meant to post it about a comment you made in an insurance thread about waiting a year and paying £600 for insurance, fuck knows how I ended up posting it here!
Haha.
