I just cleaned up the actual handle and used two blobs of blu tack under mine, they never shifted , just a bit of double sided foam tape would be ideal too

PS, i did not use any coloured tape under mine

Same.

Dont superglue them - never know when you may want to remove them to clean etc.

+1 - Just did this myself!  Although the approach is a bit 'Blue Peter' it works really well! 

Such a simple mod which makes a huge difference as they are the first thing your eyes are drawn to when you open the door  :happy2:

Mine with the red backing on the seat inlay but left the footrest plain cos it'd be a bugger to clean or change it when it got dirty

Is there a seat inlay option for the R32 seats as the area the inserts are fitted into is longer and shallower towards the back
