Was having a little to much fun on the weekend off roading and had a little accident, so replacing the panel but i have no idea how to get this piece off. Can someone advise? Thanks/

See PET Pic 810-05 for the bits and fixing method.
It does just pop off. It's also one of those preventative maintenance things where you should remove both at least once a year and clean out the pocket area behind them. Dirt and sand gets packed in and acts like a sponge holding water. The rust will be hidden behind that little panel until it spreads up and you start seeing rust bubbles on the fender.
As others have said, it just pops on and off with 3 pins. One trick to see how something is attached is to google the part and look at the backside on, say, an eBay listing, then it becomes clear what to do.
Note that this area is prone to rusting out from the inside. The rocker rusts out and then the fender leaving a gaping hole. So if you can wiggle yours, prepare for the worst.
My well used New England '73 911 has less rust than my '10 Cayenne.

Gottcha! moved the lining out the way and use a small plastic pry tool, couple pulls, all four clips come off. everything was pretty clean but some mud. Is there a drainage plug close by there?? Found a rubber seal that had mounts of mud dried up on it, pulled it out as was closed with a yellow grime, kinda like it might have been grease? ill take a photo of it and post later on.

Luckily it was still pretty firm, other than the plastic turning brittle ;/
