Hi all,
This seems to be a common issue where the boot /tailgate handle snaps off.

As you probably know (as i found out) it can cost between £150 and £250 to get this handle replaced and sprayed.

Well i thought... naaa to expensive and designed some 3D printed parts to repair it myself. i listed them on ebay and they seem pretty popular.

I didn't want to bring it to the forum until I was happy the part works now with 1 month sales and over 300 sales and (at this stage 100% positive feedback) I'm happy to announce my £15 fix that give a better fixing then OEM

I hope this part saves people a lot of money!

Nice option for those that need it and at long last a mention of parts manufactured as spares by the 3D Printing Process - Dave :)
