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.

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 :oops:

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).
