AFTER i'd got it all out, it was only then of course that i realised the clip just slides off!

Show us a pic without the dent. How did the colour match up??

That door has been from the UK to sydders and now Perth

Yea the door looks identical in colour it just needs a clay bar and polish.
The little plugs in the door that hold the clips of the mk2 door trims were mostly perished, so i pinched some of the pretty green ones from a golf 3 and they worked fine.
When i clean up the car I'll put up some before and after shots.

Changed the broken front left door handle today including the lock swap.

Here's the busted bit above my thumb:


Dont try and push the little lock buttons in and slide the barrel in with a screwdriver like this! It will result in explosive swearing attacks, and possible tool/lock breakage:


Just put the key in to pull the tabs down..


..and hey presto:


Now my girlfriend can let herself in and I can give the gentlemanly game a rest
