DIY door handle panel replacement? - BMW 1-Series Forum (F20) 135i

So it has happened...

I´ve scratched the brushed aluminum door handle on the drivers side. This annoys me alot since the car is only 3 weeks old. Also I cant just ignore it since I see it every time I go in and out of the car.

I think the best solution is to replace this brushed aluminum panel. My question is if this can be a DIY job? I really want to keep the cost down because I know how expensive the smallest jobs are if you take it to the dealer...

Just to be clear its the part 14 on the picture below.

There is a thread in the main f20 forum where the guy has upgraded his audio. Part of the DIY is how he took the door trim off. Go take a look
