Finally got around to doing this whilst my mate was over to install the external LED's in the door and the ambient lighting in the door card
All you need is a Torx 20 bit, a flat blade or trim removal tool and some brute force!!
Top tip is to wind the window down to give you easier access when removing the door card
First you need to remove the aluminium (or whatever colour) trim by the door handle using the flat blade to reveal the two hidden screws
Undo the screw under the main door handle
Next is to get the flat blade at the bottom and start levering towards you. Once you can get your hands in simply work your way around to the top. Don't be afraid to use a bit of brute force
Then pull the door card up and start unclipping the plugs and door handle (sorry didn't take pics but it's the same as my rear door card thread!
Fitting is reversal of removal!! Clip the plugs and door handle cable back in
Then lift the door card back onto the lip at the top; having the window down as far is goes makes this step a little easier!
Put the screws in
Tap the clips back into place
Job done
Hope this helps
