Ok I need to fix a mini. I knocked off the molded plastic from over the rear well and just need to snap it back on. It appears that in order to get proper fitting and placement I will need to remove the side skirt. Is this a simple snap off or is there anything I need to know in order not to further damage the mini?

Side skirts and plastic trim are designed to snap off for easy removal however the holding clips break in the process so that the actual body part is reusable. You may need to replace a few clips but these are easily ordered from BMW.

Good luck!

As Laura said, you can re-use your original skirt, but you'll need a new set of clips

Sounds like a good excuse to order some Aero side skirts though, if the skirt is already off, the job is half done
