Door card removal

[FROGM5]

I had planned to take my door cards off today to fit new central locking springs.
All went as planned until I got to the door handle cap/cover
No amount of levering (carefully)or pulling would budge either.
It got to the stage of if I go on I`m going to damage something......grrrr

Any body have any ideads
??

2004 Clk W209.

Hi yes Iv`e seen this one, it shows the door grab handle splitting to reveal screws(done this plenty of times on my 208)
I have just seen another where this is not the case, if so it would explain why I cant get the handle apart, Its not meant to come apart.
