The grab handles should be easy. I haven't removed mine yet but, if you feel underneath the handle, there should be a little hole that you can pop a screwdriver in to pop it out.

The most crucial element when removing grab handles is to degrease with a little soap and water the dry off before attaching masking tape verticall upwards to the upper trim and glass then use a soft plastic scraper blade at the bottom to prise outwards.

Chris, there was no hole at the bottom on mine, but its easy to insert a suitable tool (I used a trim remover) and just gently lever them off. It really is a simple 5 minute job. Many thanks to Mav71 for the inspiration and to Dan @ Duckworth for the speedy delivery. Although I have a black interior, it still gives a classy look for very little effort. I've posted a pic in my gallery for anybody interested. Cheers Mike 2012 SD4 HSE Lux, Barolo Black, Windsor Ebony, 19" Style 3 Diamond Turned Alloys, Panoramic Sunroof.

Yep very simple to get them off. There is a screwdriver sized slot on the bottom to pop them off. Finally finished wrapping the handles in high gloss black. You just need a hair dryer
