Are these trim pieces easy to remove (2015 SL400 R231)? Cheers

In my experience very little trim in a mercedes is what I would call easy to remove.

I've been told that the door panels need to be removed to get the trims off. Dashboard trims are removable with a decent trim removal tool.

Yes I seem to recall the door trims are held on from behind and requires the door card removing (at least on early 230s and my 251).
I have an old 230 door trim somewhere so if I can find it will take a look.

Thanks for your reply, but no need as I've just seen a video showing how to remove the door panel. I've just found out that there are clips at the back of the trim that need to be released. Cheers.
