Does anyone have instructions or a diagram on how to remove the side skirts?

Google search my dude... To remove Taycan side skirts, unscrew the bottom torque screws and those in the rear wheel well, then carefully pry the side skirt away from the car's body using a plastic trim tool to release the hidden clips. The front of the side skirt is typically just hooked onto the front wheel well liner and can be detached by prying downward once the rest of the skirt is free.
Tools You Will Need
A Torx bit screwdriver (size may vary)
A plastic trim removal tool or flathead screwdriver
A plastic wedge
New clips if the old ones break
Step-by-Step Guide
Locate and Remove Screws:
Begin by finding and removing the torque screws along the underside of the side skirt.
An additional screw is often found in the back of the rear wheel well, and another behind the wheel well liner.
Pry the Side Skirt:
Starting at one end of the side skirt, use a plastic trim tool or wedge to carefully pry the skirt away from the car's body.
The side skirt is held on by several plastic push-type clips. These are designed to be pried down and out.
Disconnect the Front:
Once the screws and most of the clips are free, the front of the side skirt will be hooked onto the front wheel well liner. Gently pull down on the front of the side skirt to release it from the hook.

There are 9 penny head clips that are a quarter turn under the sill that are the first to remove.

I can send pictures of them later if you need

Pictures would be great. Thanks

If you look under the sill, you will see a black panel that has 9 of these button head retainers.

Once you remove them, the black panel will drop and that will expose screws that hold the sill in place.

Once you remove the screws, the sill will them pull off towards you

Is this an easy job? Eg just the screws along the bottom? Do you need to remove wheel arches at all? How do you get aces to the bolts behind the front wing?
