i dont think it something that you can buy 'off the shelf'. I think it would have to be a case of taking the lock part out and smoothing over with fibreglass and filler and then spraying it.

did u make that then how easy was it to make

[5_door owner]

yeah, made it two days ago as i was bored all ya do is take the grab handle off (four nuts on inside tailgate) unhook the lock mech(just move it till the bar comes off) get some fine mesh (halfrauds sell it, about ?1 . cut the mesh to the shape of the hole, then aply a skim of filler over the top,(pref fiberglass filler) let it set then smooth back and aply filler/sand untill it is level ,then spray the whole grabhandle in filler primer(or highbuild primer) about 2-3 coats then wet+dry the whole thing to get rid of the bobbly effect, then spray in topcoat, job done,

or the easy way is to send me yours and a tenner and ya can have the one in the pic. :D

hope that helps ya matey
