Any ideas?

The underside looks like it's held on with rivets, so I'm guessing I'd have to drill them out. Screws on the ends. Nothing obvious on the sides - will this be some form of glue?

Cheers

On the stock commodore instructions it mentions 6 underneath, ie under the car pointing vertically. Then nine screws ( might be those expanding nuts made of plastic, Scrivnuts maybe) hidden behind the rubber bottom door seal after you open the door. Then 2 inside each wheel well.
Knowing HSV it is probably different!!

Hmmm - No plastic nuts on the underside. Have to look along the length of the rubber door seal to find the hidden screws.

Sadly Gary's closer to the truth. One skirt is cracked, so needs a repair and the visible seams need some sealer. Fifteen years of British weather hasn't been kind. Another five years of neglect would had made the car a donor rather than something worth saving.
