The bumper ones front and back just unclip

The side ones are glued on so you'll need to heat them up with a hot air gun (mind the paintwork) to get them off.

Could try spraying them to match the rest of the car and then put them back on?

The is an indentation in the door underneath them - look for a base model (usually taxis!) and you'll see what I mean.
