I tried to use this guide which is in french and go by the pictures and its partly right, but i thought i would help you all out where i got stuck and stood scratching my head for about an hour!
French Guide (http://diesel.planetaclix.pt/artigos/puxadores.pdf)
Follow the guide by the pictures.
Make sure you do this with the door open or window down and have your car keys in you pocket!!!! bare in mind the glass will be in the door if the window is down so remember that when your fidling with the screwdriver.
Remove the plastic cap where the lock would be / is using a tiny screwdriver. Unlatch one section of it at a time then it pulls off but make sure not to break the clips. (you can probably riggle them off but you might break the clips)
Pull the handle as if you are opening the door then slide the entire handle slightly towards the back of the car till it clunks.
Tricky bit! - Get a screwdriver and inside the door where the rear of the handle goes in (next to the lock) there is a white plastic part that is the door pull. You need to push this to free the door handle. and then the handle just slides out rear first.
Next the interior door car needs to come off - this is not on the guide and where i got stuck. This has 2 torx screws behind the coloured handle panel and then the rest clips on. Pull all this off and put it to one side.
The window must be put up at this stage.
You need to cut the waterbreak around the metal edge at the correct side of the door enough to get your arm in and see what your doing.
Slot the u shaped end of the door handle back into the door first. On the inside, reach inside to the pull mechanism and pull the plastic cylinder above the hole down and then put the rest of the handle into the door. Gently ease the plastic cylinder back up and the door handle should now work! if it doesnt, repeat till handle catches the pull. then the other part of the handle clips on but remember not to snap or bend those clips!
Best to tape the waterbreak back up and then put the door cards back on.
repeat for other side :)
My c2 went from this to this. The silver matches arctic steel nicely IMO.
Probably takes about half an hour per side once you know what your doing and hopefully this will help!
