Hi Kasia, yes the upholstery is standard on Euro cars. It is held in with about 10 little grey plastic plugs that you can remove with strong fingers or long nosed pliers gently to try and not break them.

You also need to remove the internal handle, which is a solid bit of moulded plastic. The latch that holds it in is at the top of the handle, so you need to push it down gently (firmly) to unclip it and then it will rotate out.

The plastic cover for the lock mechanism just wiggles off and then you need to guide the upholstery section off over the two rubber bumpers at the bottom.
