First of thanks for the welcome.
has anyone had problem with the paint coming of the door handle

Very common - search the forum and you'll find a few examples. I guess if its still under warranty then you might get it done on that. Others will be able to comment.

My 2p. Save the energy that you might expend chasing Vauxhall about warranty repairs and buy some Omega fronts off ebay. Get your favourite trustworthy bodyshop to paint 'em properly, then swap them over at your leisure.

Mine are flaking but I haven't been arsed enough to follow my own advice.

Hi happyharry, and welcome!

if its happened on any Vx/Holden/HSV variant, you'll find the answer on here.....
search function is useful but sometimes hard to pinpoint exact threads - no one minds if you ask though - we're here to help! Check the FAQS aswell as there is a lot of info there. worth reading it in any case.
My door handles have just started flaking now.....05 Ro. lucky i've got some spare odyssey paint lurking in the garage so will get the local bodyshop to respray them when I can be bothered.....

I resisted writing the top ten. Maybe he will only ever get flakey handles, so no point listing 'em!

My biggest problem is rubber coming off the tyres, keeps happening all the time, anyone know a cure?

My fuel tank keeps emptying itself really quickly. Have I got a leak?

Just a heavy right foot!

Is it possible to paint the handles whilst still on the car or do they have to be taken off? I took a chunk off mine the other week when polishing and it looks blooming awfull now!

Funny that. I have the same problem. Haven't got a clue?
