Just recently started a full time job so more cash seems to be avaliable to me. Until i start paying board but am escaping that so far. Just wondered if anyone else has had problems with their door handles corroding? If so what have they done or does anyone know anything you can do stop smarten them back up again.

Cheers LB.

this happens on every bravo, best thing to do is replace the handles. i've fitted handles from a 2001 marea. they're a harder plastic.

there are some keyless marea handles in the classifieds section.
these would be good if you have remote central locking.

otherwise search on ebay for people breaking fiat mareas and call up and get the handles (if they are available!) they go pretty quickley for people to replace their bravo/brava handles with

cal

Do they just swap directly? And would i be able to fit them myself with a small amount of mechanical knowledge? Thanks LB

Not so difficult.

Here is a Hungarian manual (pictures tell all):

yes, marea handles fit, they're the same as bravo ones, just made in a different plastic

Have a look on Boo :idea: brilliant detailed guid in english there.You will find every qeustion to do with it answerd there

And it is easy to do,even for people not to handy with a spanner.

You can also modify Alfa 147 door handles to fit the bravo and they look great!!!

Dont they leave a slight gap? and there is a bit of cutting with the Hacksaw to isent there .

yeah, a bit of cutting is needed.
If you pad the bottom with some good quality rubber cut to size you can't notice the gap.

In the meantime, black electrical tape is fab for holding them together
