Hi guys ! This is my first post in the forum, I did do a search to see if anything came up for what I was gonna ask but I couldn't find anything, so apologies if I missed it.
I finally got myself a Peugeot RCZ 1.6 2 weeks ago from a private dealer ! I wanted one when they were first out but couldn't afford it at the time, so I was so so happy to finally be able to get my hands on one. For a 2011 reg it's got full service history, only 26k miles on the clock and is in amazing condition so was very happy for the price I got it at. (7800 including my deposit).
Anyway onto the subject, it IS in good condition overall, however the previous owner apparently liked either wearing jewellery on their right hand or was careless with the key, because the inner door handle (both the grab handle and the area around the actual door handle) are scratched and scored to buggery, which is really irritating me. I was wondering what the best option would be to restore them ? Should I use a fine sandpaper to try get the scratches and chips out and repaint it and finish it or what ? Would I be better off just getting a cover for them if they're available at all, or is it possible to still buy a new one to replace them altogether ? I've attached some images below (Excuse the poor light):
Any advice would be much appreciated !
