To replace the external door handle on a Mini, first disconnect the door panel by unscrewing all the screws located on the panel's trim. Once the screws are removed, you can detach the panel to access the underlying components: here you will find the actuator connected to the handle.

By unscrewing the screws that secure it and disconnecting its connectors, you can remove the handle from the outer part of the door, allowing you to fit the new one by reassembling all the removed components.
