dead easy to do mate.....i didnt follow that guide by cobra exactly tho. He says to remove the control rod from the lock but this is a REAL pain in the arse to get back on (I tried it in a scrappys b4 i did mine).
Easiest way is to leave the rod in the lock mechanism, the lock can be tilted slightly, so tilt the lock backwards then you can slide the base plate for the handle out. Swap the handles round then pull the lock forward while u slide the base plate back on and hey presto.......sorted.

Irmscher ones from vaux but a bit pricey........
Get richbrook ones for about a 10-15 quid....Plain silver/chrome..look good...
