Rather then Panic in a Scrap yard, and if their prices are reasonable, take the whole side mould first, they just pull off with clips, then strip them at home, once you've had the advice from the know on here, I personally dont know how the strips come out, but its what I would do, if the prices's were sensible..

or just use the complete second hand mouldings from the breakers, rater than destroying the chrome in trying to re/use them,

this way you might just need some new clips from citroen

Dont think you can beat Brian Primmers replacement stainless steel ones, they look damn good and pretty cheap too!
