Noticed a little bit of rust near the jacking point so the sill cover needs to be removed,the question is how? Do the black plastic clips just pull down?

[Doctor Gollum]

Pop the black poppers off the lower edge, remove the torx screw fom under the front end, turn the wheels to full lock and knock the cover forward a couple of inches

Bish, bash, bosh

After cleaning they slot back nicely

I did mine recently. I seem to remember I couldn't slide them back in. I just lined them up and used the palm of my hand to force them back on. Easy peasy. However, some of the little black fixings that hold them in place are likely to be damaged on removal. Not sure how essential they are. I had enough good ones to not worry overly.

That is how they're refitted

Black poppers are best removed by pulling the bottom edge of the sill cover down... saves damaging them

The little black poppers on mine were made of metal and had to be drilled off like a rivet head. Metal shaft drilled out and the whole thing replaced with plastic ones. Also no torx screw fixing on the front of mine either.

OP, you will find lots more rust once they come off, give yourself plenty of time to sort it out.
