Jo,
I remember blujfan pulling the cladding off of the wrecked VX he bought to send over to OZ. IIRC the only pieces he had a problem with were the doors. Unfortunately, I was battling with removing the rear side glass so I didn't really see what was involved. I remember hearing some quite colorful language about all of the 2 sided tape but I think his biggest problem was one screw that he couldn't get out on the drivers door so he ended up just cutting that screw. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
BTW, if the collision shop ever finds them, I should have some extra cladding screws if you need them.
