Repair door handle cover or order new part?

Somehow this door handle section has become chipped. I assume someone has hit with a car door but I'm not sure why the only the bottom side would get chipped.

Whats the best way to go about getting this sorted out? I've been trying to search for the cover but I haven't found anything yet - will it be possible to get the just the cover and not the whole handle? Not sure there's any point to repairing the bodywork is there?

Yes you can buy that part seperate to the handle, you could replace it with the blank one like the passenger door, new it only comes in primer.

By blank one do you mean with no hole for the key?

any ideas how much it would cost to get it painted?

I’ve seen a passenger side one on eBay which is tempting...not sure what I’d do though if I required key access for whatever reason. Unfortunately it seems the more common ones don’t have that groove line running through the middle.

Yes, same as the passenger side.

not much as its only small and if you bought a new one it's already prepped for painting, Paintmodz on Facebook would do it fairly cheap and quickly, they might have one already.

ones with grooves are the keyless entry ones.

Gotcha, thanks Mark, much appreciated
