So, you've decided to change or replace your door handles. Well it takes a matter of minutes with the use of a T15 driver.
Firstly, locate the round black screw cover, situated above the door latch and in line with the handle.

Now, unscrew the little torx bolt all the way until it stops, don't worry, it'll not fall out into the door. ImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1368904104.501384.jpg
Before moving the T15 push the bolt inwards, this unclamps the barrel enabling release. ImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1368904190.785739.jpg
Using your hand, just wiggle it out. Again, don't worry about rods or cables connected to the lock barrel, there isn't any. ImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1368904274.280058.jpg
Now with the barrel out of the way, firmly grasp the handle and pull it towards the back of the door, you'll feel it pop out. ImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1368904365.420939.jpg
Pull it outwards now until it comes out of the door.
Do the same with all other doors. The rear doors do require a long T15 driver, 80mm in length is what used.

Hope this guide helps anyone that is looking at changing their handles.
2 mins per handle is all it takes.

Thanks for reading.

Absolute brilliant help :beer::beer:
I've just purchased some blue ones from a Brill guy and once they come this will really help.
Cheers Phil :beer::beer:
 
Is this a rubber between steel and door handle?
Is it possible to lift a little bit this rubber? I have a little damage 1mm right at the top of this black rubber. If I could lift a little bit, it would be much better. Or buy somewhere a bit larger rubber? I think that someone wanted to brake into my car, and made a little damage with a screwdriver right at the top of this rubber.

Hello mevden, no it's not rubber, it a thin piece of plastic. You can't lift it, as its a perfect fit into the door. It very easy to take the handle off and do a minor repair though.

Yeah i got them Phil and they are am exact match! The paintwork is the same as mine, sparkles and all :)
 
But you said my paint was different and it even has a B in the code that you don't have but there handles were the same as mine, so where's this B coming from in the paint code? :banghead:
 
They look brill on tbh, picture doesn't do it justice, am really pleased thanx
Yeah will clean them and get them listed, did you say you paid 60 for yours, were they new? Where did you get them?
 
Hello,


I've managed to remove lock barrel wihout any problem, but when I pull handle it gets stuck halfway, so I wonder whether there is a possibility that something breaks when I pull the handle?


Thnx.
