Interior door handles

[Jonnymaz]

Hi, quick question that I hope someone can help with.

I am in the process of giving the car a little spruce up and have tried to take off the interior door handles (the ones used for pulling the door shut) to get them professionally rubbed down and repainted.

It looks easy - two bolts with allen keys on each end, but when I removed the bolts the door handle still seemed to be connected to the carbon fibre door panel somehow.

Am I missing something?

Has anyone else removed them?

Thanks
