   What a lazy bastard of a mechanic.
   
   Best bet is to get to Citroen and get a bag of some 'VT kit clips'
   
   Then there's a few brackets with torx bolts holding the skirt on - undo these, then pull/pop the skirt off.
   
   Doesn't matter if any of the clips snap - just replace them all and push/pop the skirt on - tighten up torx screws - done.
   
   Not hard or long.
   
   Have fun

   yea u can buy em off ebay but are alot cheaper direct from pug/citroen dealers. they also sell the torx screws and washers bits aswell. i personally went to local nut n bolt shop and got new screws n washers instead of torx bits
