Boot handle replacement

[richw911]

After fixing the leaking wiper motor and corroded latch about 2 years ago, I thought it was about time I did the corroded boot handle seeing as I had bought the handle at the same time and had all the paint etc.!

Part number 1J6 827 565 B GRU.

Gave the already primed handle a few coats of indigo blue:



Re fit when the paint is fully hardened just hope the barrel comes out of the old handle ok lol.

cool mate, should look better with the new one. I caught my wiper motor before it did any real damage to the handle luckily
