   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.

    Haha.
