Im going to do this aswell.i think you get it from behind the door card

There are 2 nuts behind the door panel.

So take off the door panel and remove the nuts.

in order to take the door panel off you need to do the folowing:

1. the bit of the door panel you actually stick your hand in and pul the door shut - remvoe that bit,

2. behind that there are 2 screws remove these.

3. on th einteror door handle there is a screw, remove that

4. push the interior door handle towards the front of the car and pull out slightly

5. Unclip the rod from the interior door handle. don't just try and pul it out

6. with a screwdriver or barbecue spatula works quite well go round the whole of the interior panel and pull the studs out.

7. now the interior panel is off, you need to carefully peel back the vapour barrier on the door

8. undo the two screws and pull the exterior door handle out.

9. disconnect the rod on the exterior door handle.

hope this helps

you gotta make sure your window is wound fully up man, then you can move the window rail out of the way to reveal the second bolt, you can get to it with a spanner, its the exact same as the first one. The only tricky part is when you put the rods back into the handle as it has a little red bracket which it clips into. Its tricky but it can be done. I changed my handles to chrome so its all good.
