Have to say I love the person who did this! Had my ibiza since wednesday and the door handles were completely doing my head in.. although after messing up a LOT of the paint work on my old car didnt really want to try anything but now they look soooo much better! Although thinking of changing them to blue as i want black/blue interior to match the blue outside! but yes.. thanks!

Anyone know where i can buy replacements of these?

 

[LewisLeon]

If you want to buy replacements, try a dealer. Pretty sure they won't be cheap though. Just had a look on ebay and couldn't find anything either...

I've just done mine in Platinum, looks really smart. Really good guide, wouldn't have thought of doing it otherwise. Thanks!

Time for some (poor) pics...

Pretty happy with how it came out.

I wish I had joined this site a few days ago... I sat there with a 1p coin scratching it off for about 45 minutes! Still happy with the outcome though. It was just a much harder way of doing it. Looks good.

My interior door lever is peeling on the passenger side too... Its not all that noticable, but I know it's there and it's driving me crazy.. Any tips?

Following in everyone's footsteps, have done mine with some Plasti-Kote primer and satin black top-coat I had lying around in the workshop. Very chuffed with the end result!

Could anyone tell me the part number for these, as I just broke one in half by sitting on it. I have used search but no luck

 

[hillmandj]

Thank you all for the positive feedback. Im glad this has helped people out. A quick, easy and cheap job that makes alot of difference.

Have to say I love the person who did this!
