| The sides should be ok to get off, should just pull off. But just make sure the car hasn't been resprayed
For the front and the back, I think the strips are held on with clips, but either way, you'll be left with the recess that the strips sit in so would need some bodywork |

And the front and back will need filling etc like you said |
