Oh my word..i never even thought of that......could do that to the old ones......now i wonder...........hmmmmmmmmmm

[redneck01246]

yes mum of 4 very easy to fit

carfully take the small inner grab handle out with small flat screwdriver

then lift the larger part out you will need a philips screwdriver for drivers door switches and the small screwdriver to do the others(just unclip the lugs

halford also do dayglo pink paint ;)

Thought id add my pics on here rather than start a new thread on handles..hope you don't mind redneck.

 

Easier than i thought..minutes to fit..have done all 4.Looks soooooo much better and no longer tatty.They are the same colour as the door handle inner bits..just look lighter in the pic.

 

Will strip down the old ones for future spraying.

 

I know it is only a quick little job..but im chuffed with myself. :o

[redneck01246]

mo4 i used a stanley knife blade for the flat bits and works sandbaster for awkward bits(typical comes of easy when used but a sod to come off when you want it to)

also used brake cleaner to lift off anything i left. :D
