Just took the kit off the Series 1.....
 

Took kit off to start prepping for paint, started at o/s rear and it came off no prob at all, pity the mood changed when i saw what was underneath :cry:

Still, thought I'd soldier on and off comes the side skirt:

Hmm not going all too well! I nearly didnt want to take the rest off, but fairly good news in that both wings, front panel and n/s rear arch are spotless and only a small hole in n/s sill (my fault):
