i've noticed paint missing behind the handles but the fronts seem ok, is this the same issue and worth getting done?

We had this on our Red 04 CV8, it is a warrantee job so I would get it sorted out.

No not tempted at all. Not enough horses for me! I was on a flying visit Bob, in Glasgow for a meeting on Wednesday lunchtime and back up to Inverness before catching the ferry the next morning. Reason I went to Belmont was because they wouldn't order parts until they had seen the door handles! Apparently photos by e-mail or confirmation from the Vauxhall dealer in Inverness that serviced it wouldn't do. I despair of that lot and wish someone else would take on the Monaro dealership in Scotland that are actually interested in the cars. Scottish branch Caspy? yes hehe

well I've got good news for you then Jeff - my local ie <1mile from front door dealer has just been or is in process of being taken over. When it finally completes, hopefully Monday then from then on they will be a VXR dealership and will be taking orders for VXR8's etc Sales team reckon they'll be able to take on Monaro work as well - officially. Will keep you informed. Only thing is because the sales now been put back to Monday I aint getting my VXR brakes fitted in time for Brands as I was booked in for then and they've had to cancel all work :-(
