It all depends if you have the first gen boot handle or the second gen. The first gen was only a 1 piece handle whereas the later second gen was 2 piece and you could do what maxitrol has done.
I asked the question because Maxitrol has the first gen I think and I wondered how he painted it?
I have seen somewhere that you can prise the older flat style badge off very carefully with a credit card/flat screwdriver (or is this the later version?)
I was then thinking of colour coding the boot handle and covering with a rear badge from a MK 4?
