Took some photos this afternoon after giving the car a polish the other day, and fixing the crack in the front bumper:

Thanks - that door handle is very annoying! Also the electric window in that door is also slow to go up or down, so when I am feeling brave enough I might try to have a look at both those things at the same time.LudeIOW wrote:smart looking lude mate - gotta love a 5G in black personaly the best looking preludeand iv got that same annoying problem with the door handle something so small stands right out

The door handle is an easy fix, happened to me.
The handle part, is held flush by a spring. That spring is hooked round a lug on the handle. Mine just snapped one day, leaving it limp
I took the door card off, took the handle out, drilled a small hole in where the plastic has snapped off, then screwed in a self tapper (careful not to split the plastic, its probably brittle hence the break in the first place), then just hooked the spring around the new screw. Bit fiddly, involved a dremmel, and an hour of swearing! Dont forget the 3 hidden screws behind the speaker grill (not the 3 that hold the speaker in).
