Mine are pretty manky and was thinking of buying new ones from Leven but a bit worried about the amount damage I might do getting the old ones off... do they just come off nice and easy or do they bring the paint with them ?

Front and back are held on by nuts, mine came of with ease.

Re-fitted Levens, magic!

I changed mine about a year and a half ago, from what I remember they came off fairly easily, didn't mark the paintwork, as they had sealer behind them, which I cleaned off before fitting the new Leven ones.

Becareful when undoing the front one as the nuts can be corroded as they are not as protected from the elements as the rear ones. Its fairly easy to break the pins off the front ones, so if they are tight a dosing of penetrating oil may help.

Hope this helps.
