1. heat them gently first to soften the glue
2. slowly peel them back using the help of some sort of acrylic or floss to slowly cut the glue off
3. you shud have tons of skanky glue left, either now get a caramel wheel but u need to use it very slowly or... ( http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=218394 ) You can also use petrol, meths, white spirits .etc to rub the glue off but be careful and give it a polish afterwards
4. if ure paintworks milky then u'll need to have ure car mopped by a bodyshop 
hope this helps

well dna has explained it 
however i wouldnt use a caramel wheel if you've no idea on how to use it. it can damage the paint work in the untrained hands
