Removing Body Kit
I'm guessing you mean the front lip and side skirts?

The front lip should be ok as the holes are under the bumper - ie won't be visible. The side skirts on the other hand will have drill holes a bit higher up (between the pinch rails and splash guard I think). I can't remember exactly, its been a few years since I installed mine. The boot I have no idea, never installed one.
I am sure there will be a few forumites willing to take the body kit off your hands which should offset any body work costs!

I'd be keen on grabbing them off you if you want to get rid of them cheap cheap. 

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

The bootlid spoiler is bolted on. I have the same one on my car and am dying to find someone with a red bootlid, no spoiler, who wants to swap lids! If you happen to be able to do the same, swap the spring which holds it open too, as they are heavier duty to suit the added weight of the spoiler. If you don't swap, the lid will completely open when you pull the boot release, and the new owner of your old spoiler will need a broom handle to keep the lid up!
Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.
