Well, it's only taken me almost 2 years but I finally got round to comparing the early and late type exterior door handle castings this week (....now there's a topic to impress your friends at parties )

I've taken a pic, as the differences aren't visible whilst fitted to the car. The castings (2 per handle) are completely different and I assume were changed during production to give a softer, better quality feel to the model:

(Apologies if the image is showing at 90', I've tried to amend to get it straight, but the system seems to keep changing it for some reason ?)
