Door trim?!

Hey people
Another ask of advice before i take action

Was wondering how hard it is to take the trim off the doors? Will alot of residue be left after? And what would be the best way to do it?
Also do you think it is worth doing as my car is black and so the trim doesnt overly stand out anyway
since my mate opened the door onto a lamppost the other night and the trim saved the door from denting :shock: i dont know what to do now :lol:
any help and suggestions very much appreciated :D

althu i do no that there will be no holes left underneath them if i remove them...found out from a diff site...all that will be left is glue like when debadgin boot althu im afraid of it leavin a shadow on the paint so myt jus leave it and invest in colour codin it at sum point :D
