How do you remove the chrome handle of the Mini Cooper R53?

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Handle

In this video we can see how to remove the chrome handle of the door of the Mini R53: the youtuber shows us how it is done with a small metal screwdriver, but if we want to make sure not to scratch the bodywork in any way, we will have to use a plastic spatula, with which to gently press the chrome part, in order to remove it from its housing: we will have to aim at the inner part of the handle, where there is (or should be) the lock. Let's snap it and push it gently forward; be very careful not to break the triangular part at the bottom.
