remove the small screw on the inside of the door, near the wing mirror
pop off the grab handle
remove the two gold screws, at top and bottom of grab handle
untwist and remove the lock knob at top of door
carefully prise, starting at the bottom, with something that wont damage the paint/door card - will start unclipping from the door metal itself
several clips all the way around, most likely stiff, so do tug hard but be carefull not to break them (cheap to replace anyway)

Just to let you know Alun, the mirror is a piece of cake to change.
Basically once the door card is off all you have to do is unplug the mirror, undo the 3 screws holding it in place, take the clip off of the plug (you'll know what I mean when you see it) then feed it through the sponge in the door (again you'll know what I mean when you see it)
One thing I'm not sure of though is how the hell the glass stays in it's place, if someone could help me with that I'd be very happy
