How much of a job is it to get the PU's off? I want to give my car a good spring clean and I thought I might pop these off while I'm at it so I can do the rads etc.

Pain or easy and roughly how long does it take?

A tip from a man who learned the hard way: Put some masking tape on the car above the PU before you slide the PU forwards. It is very easy for the clips on the back of the PU to scratch the paintwork.

Thanks, advice learned in the field is always welcome. I'll be laying a duvet under the front/rear too as they come off.

Once you've gone to the trouble of taking them of it would be a shame not to. Go on i bet you would like to.
