Reminds me of the time during an open house to the public, as a gag, I put shoe polish on the edge of the scope cover of my sniper rifle. I had a civlian friend who was up next on the range. He had his eye too close to the scope, and when the recoil hit, he got a nasty scope kiss with blood and shoe polish around his eye. THis was when we were still using the British Parker Hale M82 (C3A2). We never let him live it down. Armchair Commando |

Must admit that the Stornoway door handles do look ok One thing worries me though concerning my co-driver who has long finger nails and loads of scratchy rings. These mainly female atributes seem to damage other painted and skin covered articles and I was wondering if yours get clawed up at all Door handles I mean of course 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Andy C, sorry had 5 PM's for more info so got that sorted first. Re your question on scratches well it's too early to tell really but they are LR factory handles so will be good quality (Well I hope better than the parking sensors ) but I've had loads of cars with colour coded handles and the scratching is more on the door body the 'hollowed out' bit from the misses finger nails etc. Rings are generally smooth so I can't see this being an issue. |

Many thanks McP - If I go down that path, maybe I will make her use rubber gloves every time to be on the safe side 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Won't need the rubber gloves Andy, I've just looked at the back of the handles and they have a black kind of rubber coating on them. So I'm sure your misses 'ring' won't scratch them (If you pardon the expression) , I'll put a picture in my gallery in a minute (Of the handle not your lasses ring) |
