    Took mine to a little local garage, he chiselled them off with an air powered chisel thing. Back 2 came off no problems, front 2 took 30 mins each as they were done up too tightly. Still, a tiny bit of damage to the wheel (scratches on the rim), done without an invoice for £20! Don't go to Citroen to get it done, they quoted me £60odd at one garage and £85 at another!
    Try to chisel in the direction the wheel nut turns and they should just pop off like my back 2 did, drilling them is a right pain in the ar*e
