Have to agree with everyone else.. Leave them on.. Unless they are the shitty little strip ones on the 94-96 corsas.. They are naff as fuck.. The bigger band, like on the 99 models looks way nicer.. I have a 96 Corsa and I took off the little strip and it left a different color paint which I tried everything to shift but only sum came out.. Something to do with condesation in the paint.. Plus I started getting dents in the doors from parking in car parks.. Have a 99 sport now and they're staying on for sure...

Depends on the car really, I prefer mine without them. Mine came off really easily
I heated mine up with a hair dryer to soften the sticky pad then used a credit card to careful cut through the sticky stuff. What ever you do dont just yank it off as the pull the paint off with it. Take your time and it should be fine. To get all the sticky stuff off I found a toffee wheel works best Can get them off ebay

Have to agree with jamxe, I took them off my first car which were the old dated ones, but on my 1999 iv keep them on and colour coded the handles only and i feel the car has great lines( or whatever )

Nah they were definitely removed, there was loads of the glue stuff left on the passenger door when I bought it  Got it all off with AG Tar remover stuff
