Today, I will explain how to easily and quickly remove the door panel of a 2006 Mini. The first step is to open the door from which you want to remove the panel, then insert a plastic lever inside to unclip and pull it upwards. Continue by removing the handle; use a Torx key to remove the nut securing the handle, and once the nut is removed, pull the handle outwards.

Now you can proceed as you wish to address the condition of your door.
