Need help with W203 side skirt removal
Tried a search without success.
I pulled out all the clips from the bottom of the side skirts but it will not bulge. Someone help me out with the removal of the side skirts so I can get my amg ones in please.
Thanks in advance.

You need to loosen the plastic under body. There are 6 or 7 plastic 10mm nuts. You only need to remove the ones closest to the side skirt. Then you have to remove the door sills. Just pull them off. Once removed, you'll see a bunch of body clips that hold the side skirt in place. The best way to loosen them is to use a pair of needle nose pliers.
And there might be a few body clips in the wheel wells that need removing.

Thanks alot C24 ... the removal was very straight-forward after your instructions. Without them, I would have probably ended up with a lot of broken clips.
