Some are, some Aren't.
Just prise them off gentley (if you want to put them back on at some point) heat them up (hairdryer), then get a credit card to help lift it off, then wax/polish after.

danny just go for it. stick a credit card behind the strip and prize a corner off slowly and gently. you will be able to tell if there any holes ( which there wont be ) if there is, just stop what your doing.

So tools needed;
Hairdryer
Credit Card
White Spirit
Wax/Polish
Carefully heat up the plastic you want to remove, until you can see it slacking, (don't hold the hairdryer there for a long time keep going forth and back on it)
Once loose, start slowly prising it off with your credit card.
Do this until it's all off.
As with the waxing and polishing, you may have to do more than just the rub strips as the paint won't match, with the rest of the car.
Take phots if you do it, and put in the tutorial section.

Hmm down the scrap yard, im sure i saw a corsa, with its side strip pulled off with my mate, and im sure it had hole? or something there that could be rid of with ease, as it was enough to put him off removing the one on his Sport

Non have holes do you really think vauxhall would make two different types? If you look in the part by your headlight switch there is a bung where the fog light switch should be from a gsi. They will never pay more than the have to
