Are there any holes behind that need filling in and repainting? I want to take mine off, car is only 6 months old so hope theres no fading!
Maybe some T-cut polish will help the fadeing parts!

yes they are stuck on.
just pull them off and the glue and some sponge will be left behind, get some auto glym tar remover and it will come straight off with that and a little elbow grease.

Took mine off today and there was no difference at all, used autoglym to remove the glue, looks a look nicer and will be easier to polish!
