Hi, i have recently had some door handles colour coded and i am going to fit them tomorrow. I have been told the handles are rivited on? this true? so its a simple case of drilling the old ones out and replacing them with new rivets?

cheers

I made a door handle change thingy... just been trying to find it completely forgetting the forum's got destroyed all that time ago Sad Its a very simple job... considering I had both front door handles done in half an hour and i'm not technically minded at all. I didn't have to drill anything... used all hand tools...

Sorry to necro this a bit, but I also would really like renove them (just to cc them). Had a look and looks like they need to be drilled out which makes re attaching them a lot harder. Does anyone know or has done this before?
