Pretty sure there are clips holding the rubbing strips on, and holes in the door(s)/back quarter panels

So if you take off the strips, your gonna be left with holes that need welding up and a re-paint job

Not cheap

The MK4 (6N) strips are just stuck on, the MK5's (6N2) are clipped on.

Oh my bad (thought there was clips/holes on all cars)

In that case paint should be fine tho a little dirty, will polish up a treat once you get all that glue off

hairdryer (or hot air gun) and an old credit card.
