I have (along with many others I assume) have swapped the standard handles for some delocked ones, they make the appearance a lot smoother and also prevents tea leaves from getting into your beloved car.

You can either pick up a set brand new from VAG parts or eBay and then either colour code them yourself or get a body shop to do it...all you have to do is decide! (monies permitting!).

Very easy to remove, just one torx screw holding them in place on the door edge and then it just come out at an angle

Could try removing it and cleaning it up with a good polish etc...

I delocked my handles, DIY spray job that came out pretty well
