Who else has the paint peeling off their door handles? My drivers side one is fine but not the passenger side, it looks really crap

just replaced both of mine. Looks a lot better now. They come in 3 parts , i thought the wee plastic bit on the passenger side one came with the other door handle parts but it didnt,. spent ages in the dealer trying to find it on the parts system as it didnt have the part number on it
