Throwing them in the bin and keeping the origionals usually does the trick.

They fit well, just need the lock to line up inside. Look better.

Loads of people have had probs with chinky door handles (ask Slick  :laugh: ) and there's a thread either in cosmetic matters or the garage started by Slick, I dont know if he ever sorted it out.  :undecided:

Here's the thread --> http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=21656.0

Mine fit in fine, got them second hand from a guy off of cgti. Was missing one bit so drivers side has been playing up, but picked up that bit (replacement bit to operate the locking lever, as the original is too long) from E38 for free  :smiley: so should have mine fixed soon, when i can be bothered!!!
