There glued on mate but it can be a pain to get the leftover glue off your car after you have got the bump strips off

"Stuck" on is the word i would use rather than glued.

Warm them up with a hairdryer/heat gun or something similar (petrol and matches are a no no though ), then hopefully they will pull of fairly easily and cleanly.

Lighter fluid and an old rag is the dogs bollucks for cleaning off and left over sticky stuff
