try searching there should be a thread some were, but u gotta pop out the orange bit on ur lock and there is a screw there, um there is three scews on the map pocket, 2 in the bit u use to hold onto, and the rest is clips, which tend to break but more can be bought from motor traders so don't be afraid if u break some. also to prevent damaging the air vent it is best to take that off too as the trim is wedged under it and can be broken when taking the trim off

Yeah, mate. It's pretty straight forward. Just take out all the screws, door handle etc.
Then take out the lock, you need a hooked bit of wire/blade to pull the orange section of the lock-knob forward, allowing you to take the knob off, exposing another screw.
Next is the window winder. There's a wire clip up underneath the winder that holds it onto the window mechanism. You need another piece of hooked wire to reach in and un-clip it. Not sure if you get my drift. Just pull the hand out a bit (gently) so you can have a squiz & see what I mean.
Once thats done just lever the skin off. Use a flathead screw driver or paint scraper to jimmy the anchor pins out. You might break some, but yeah, easily replaced. Just don't force it. If it's not coming off easily, it's probably because its still screwed in somewhere.

Pull back wether strip.
Insert C4 and detonate.
Drive to next postcode to find your door trim.
**warning** there may be some minor panel damage to door skin.
