Transferring door from an 02 to an 04?

Anyone know how this would work out? My R53 and R50 are both black... But my R53's clear coat has started peeling and looks horrendous, complete eyesore. So I figured "Hey my R50 has a beautiful door, no dents, dings, it's perfect"... But I can't find any information on this, I figure it'll be weekend project for next weekend.

Thanks guys!

It will be a direct swap. The hard part will be swapping the lock cylinder as it is hard to get to. Also the speaker connectors can be different if one car has H/K and the other doesn't.
If you don't want to swap off your other car message me with your color as I have several doors from R53s we have parted I'll make you a great deal on.

Thanks Way, PM sent!

But how do you go about actually removing the door from the body? I see a reverse Torx and 2 bolts. Seems way too easy...
