Kuszpit Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Anyone got any good mods for the door handles?Was reading through 99hjhm's thread and he vapour blasted his. Mine has the rubber all pealing. Is it worth just buying a new set? How much are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatttty Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) The grab handles are about £8.00 each IIRC. I got some new ones last year, they are peeling again. Think im going to paint them see how that goes Edited June 28, 2010 by fatttty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaileyVW Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Rubbish Picture However i did the same as Lou, Took them off, i scraped the rubber of with a scalpel, sanded them back, primed and sprayed them gloss black to match my newly aquired Gti Door Openers ( or what ever you call them lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobG Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 The cover for the grab handle comes off, and there's a screw (or two) underneath that needs to be undone as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
