are they stuck on with glue or the little tags that go through the door?

if there glued on its best to heat them up with a hairdryer/heat gun to melt the glue, peel back and clean up ! easy, but hard work !

It does take a while. Little bit of meths or white spirit might help.

You can try a pin strip removal tool in a drill to get the crap thats left behind when you pull them off.

I think Draper do one, not sure though.

Boiling water, brick cleaning acid lol , and petrol,

The best thing I found to do was to put some boiling water on, followed be a drenching of petrol then rub it in a circular motion with a dry rag like a rough towel I found best still took 2 afternoons to get it all off though lol

easy way..... heat it up with a heat gun, peel off the rubber strip if it leaves glue on the car dont worry. go buy yourself some carplan bug and tar remover, its ain a blue bottle, and use that got mine off in about an hour

i did did my corsa badges with white spirit and a heat gun, most hairdryers will blow up for long periods.
Also you'll need to get some orignal t-cut or met t-cut of you've got met paint. As you will see when the glue is removed the side's of the car will be different colours.
