Car Lock covers?

Hi, im just wondering where I can buy car lock covers. Basically the passenger lock on my car is broken but the central locking still works. so im figuring putting a cover over it to make it asthetically pleasing would be a lot better.

surely thats a lot of expensive work getting a lock which fits the key?. and also, it shouldnt be that much of an issue as no one opens there car from the passenger side to be honest.

I do if I need quick access.

I had a Panda as a courtesy car for a couple weeks which just had one lock on the drivers door and oh man was it annoying as hell! OK, it wasn't much of an inconvenience but it was still one.

Probably not too expensive. I would check.

What car is it ? you should be able to buy a blanking plate which you will need to paint from the manufacturer.

Blanking plate would be the best bet. Bit of a ball ache to fit I can imagine.

If it's not half hanging out/scratched/rusted etc why not just leave it be? If it looks perfectly fine I'd spend the money elsewhere, or save it.

Thats the grommet you will need if you are planning on taking the door lock pins out, if thats what your on about (the bit you pull / push to unlock the door from the inside)

OK it's not for a saxo but for the MR2 you could get these from a guy in the states:
