I've made some basic trim pieces and have had good success, now I want to try this door pull for my car.  Where would you recommend I divide the mould sections?   I'm guessing this will need to be 3 pieces, correct?  Any help greatly appreciated.

The screw block on the rear would almost certainly need to be bonded on separately, perhaps a piece of suitable plastic cut to shape or even make a mould and resin cast a block with a small flange around it to increase the bonding surface area and hence bond strength.
