Just used some vvivid gloss black wrap from amazon. Took the door handles off the car to wrap around the chrome since I wasn't comfortable making clean cuts directly on the car.
Handles come off pretty easy. Just use a diy I found from these forums. (I was about to post a diy but noticed there was one already.)
Once the door handles are off, the chrome piece is attached by a few small screws and some adhesive. Take the screws off and use a pry tool to pry off the chrome. Use some heat, wrap, and reattach.
It was my first wrap project and all worked out. Very doable. Good luck.

do you need to remove the sidings to remove the door handles?

What do you mean by sidings? Whatever they are, I'm guessing no. Attached some photos. Once you open the door, you'll see a rubber grommet along the inner edge (1st and 2nd photos). You take that off to expose a T20 torx screw (3rd and 4th photos). Loosen (don't remove) the torx screw until you feel some resistance. This will loosen the door handle assembly. Then you pull the handle as you would normally when opening the door, and it'll stay out. There's a black plastic support piece (5th photo) wedged between the rearward end of the handle and the door. Pop that out (comes off easily). Then just slide the handle sideways toward the rear of the car (6th photo) and the assembly pops right out. Hope this helps but feel free to let me know if you need more info.

After a few consecutive Audi's, I got my first Benz last week. I've been working on the first few mods with tint, paint film, vinyl roof cover, and today I got the new wheels installed. Next step will be badges.
Just passed 1500km so looking forward to some quality time in S+!

Yup, I see that car all the time when I'm headed to the city from their showroom off the highway.
