This years little upgrade.. door lever cups .
I have an F ,but my door cards have the oval recesses like the TF.
Used the chrome oval surrounds off a Rover 75 from fleabay for about a tenner.
Bit of a fiddle & a terrifying task of butchering perfectly good existing door lever cups. See photos, which unfortunately seem to have loaded out of sequence, ( the rover 75 has different sweeping levers, which can be fitted , & imo are a considerable faff to fit verses this job, yielding not much extra bang for your buck imo.) .
The worst bit is using a dremmel type cutter on perfectly good part. Remove the door handle cup screw , then remove the cup . Go slowly & carefully with a dremmel cutter/ fine disk, and cut the lip as shown in 1st pic, bit of trial and error to get a good fit ,but you can see when you are close to a good fit.
You don't need Swiss watch accuracy either, just a steady hand...and follow the line, as shown ( l think ) in pic #3
You will also need to move any tabs off the chrome surround, also with a dremmel, and then glue / silicone/ sicaflex into position, careful not to over do the adhesive... wait until glue has set properly and refit to the door card , how good does that look ?.
Simples. !
