You have two options;
1) paint the handle yourself using a can of silver paint and a can of lacquer. £10 and an hour out of your life.
2) Take it to a bodyshop and get them painted lacquered and baked properly and they'll last for ages. Longer than standard ones I suspect!
3) Never use...
What about this?

Obviously this will fit my car, but will it fit the stereo?
This is for a Passat but everyone knows CS knows all the answers...
I have a VW passat 2003 (B5?) and the standard stereo is good but I want CD/iphone/ipod etc plus maybe a small amp/sub at a later date.
I have the standard CD/radio and CD changer in the dash in a double din arrangement.
I...
If I'm getting my car totally resprayed, I want the best Job not the best deal.
Search my thread on 'Naples restoration man' (I can't as I'm on my phone)
A£500 respray will be fine for done people, but I guarantee most 'enthusiasts' could pick numerous faults with that standard of work...
So give the garage £50 for a few beers on a friday and tell them to forget they ever saw you, take the car home and leave it running on the road outside your house. It will either get nicked or it will set itself on fire.
Win Win.
Fit an up rated panel filter and remove the air feeds to the standard air box. Plenty of noise, looks standard and no heat soak. Very cheap too.
(For the lols, remove the feeds, and the air filter then go up a dual carriageway, the noise is insane! Lol)
No afters sadly. I haven't seen the kids at bed time all week so just wanted to get home.
He said he'd spent an hour this morning emptying it! Fcuk knows what was in it! Lol
I've got a bucket of minging water next to the door. If he moans, he'll be getting told to take the car, shove his money up his ass and never come back. Then I'll empty the bucket into the car.
All leather cleaned, All wet vac'd out now. Just need to leave it in the sun for an hour and see what it dries like. Not that I care, it's going back as it is...
All soaped up,
Half and half obligatory shot...
This came out of HALF the drivers seat!
Just leave the s**t to dry now...
It was a £1100 optional extra.
It's got a shitty spoiler too and a 'coupe' brake light cover....
I've just spent another 30 minutes on it and I'm nearly done. It helps doing it outside in the sun though.
I reckon the roof has been left down and it's all got soaking wet and mouldy.
Then some chump has put a space heater in the passenger door and burnt the carpet trying to dry it out.
If I was a detective, that would be my angle on the situation anyway.
Lol, that was the first week I started! I had to throw my clothes in the bin after all the juice was running down my arms from washing the roof lining! lol.
This is worse though, trust me.
If it was mine, i'd have bought a second hand carpet and binned the s**t that's in there. But he's a minge so won't.
Dead handy i'll keep that in mind!
There are no words to describe the smell coming out of this car. Foul putrid rotting dog piss, dog hair, piss on the seats, every piece of interior trim is coated in a film of nicotine.... Never seen anything like it. Oh and that passenger footwell is rock solid. No idea what it is or how it got...
