Does anyone either know or have a link to show me how to remove the exterior door handles on my 2012 S3 SB ?

I want to either remove these to paint or replace them with the versions with the chrome upper section , and I want to know if I will have to remove the entire exterior handle or if just the relevant handle section can be 'unclipped' in some way ?
 
Pulled this from a thread about loose handles. If the fixings are still the same on an 8p3.

Its a 5 minute job. What you need to do is lock the door pull the handle up and you will see (just) a small metal clip. Using a small screw driver or similar push the clip towards the front of the car and the cover will come off. I put some foam/sponge underneath, put it back on and no more rattle. :thumbsup:
