Inexpensive interior mod for mk2

[edc]

Lever out the surround. Once this is off it is very easy to see what you need to do. You just need to lift off the hook that actuates the locking mech then take the handle out. The handle in the door should come out in exactly the same way as the chrome one from the plastic bit (except you only really need the chrome part).

The only problem you might have is if you cannot open out the door pull to make it at perpendicular to the door, in which case it won't come out and it might be door-card off time.

You'll see exactly what I mean if you just fiddle with the chrome handle you already have.

I replaced the naff black plastic interior door handles with nice shiney chrome ones (actual chrome, not just chrome plated!).

Bought from vw dealer, not some cheap aftermarket cr@p.

The handles are from a polo classic estate and the part numbers are:
6k0837221F and 6k0837222F (left and right). £13 for the pair.
5 minute job to fit

Thanks to edc for the idea.... I think I beat you to fitting them too
