Buy a new rear handle is your best way of sorting that out

Thats the answer I thought I may get. any ideas of the rust patches?

Planning an Induction kit in the next wee while.

Induction kits are a little overkill on a stock engine like ours. You'll be better off spending £40 on a decent performance air filter (from Pipercross or K&N) and spending the addition few hundred on a decent re-map for your ECU. Far better gains in power, torque and economy over an induction kit. I myself run just a panel filter and it's more than enough on the K03 turbo standard GTI's run.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Thanks for that, Im not very experienced or knowledgeable about things like this.
so any advice is great!
