   Right, gradually going round the car to see what needs to be fixed instead of just ignoring it.
   
   Driver side door handle on my saxo has missing rivets which hold the handle onto the door (I think).
   
   I've done the Google but seems to be coming up with a bunch of guff, and not sure what exactly is the part I need. Here is the picture of what I'm talking about.
   
   Highlighted with the super round red circles are where the pins are. Would you guys know what size and type I need?

   I'd personally use a self tapper.

   I think you can use a bolt/nut combo to fix them if you don't manage to sort out a rivet, you could probably get black anodised bolts so they blend in
   
   Something like this would do the job:

   OK, so just a simple nut and bolt it'll be. Get my nyloc on.
   
   Self tappers would do as well I suppose, a hell of a lot easier. But don't think they would be as strong for when my turns into an ice ball again. Gotta get dem a good tug, y'know.
