Door handle covers - pics

[Jfox]

]Hey, quite a while ago I bought some door handle covers off ebay.

Metal with 3m sticky tape on them.

They were to go over the nasty faded and lacquer peeling handles I had.

Originally I was going to take them off and give them a spray etc... But the more I thought about it and saw how annoying they can be to take off I got the handle covers instead.

May not be to everyone's taste but I think they look loads better and tie in nicely with the badges.

Here's the pic. I don't have a very good "before" pic but I'm sure you can understand my reasoning lol.

Quite subtle but fits with the car. Certainly must have been cheaper than the alternative.

where on ebay did you find them ?

originally i looked at some carbon fiber covers but they were £70 for 2 LOL.

These were umm... i think £18 and was pleasantly surprised that they were metal. I was expecting some pretend chrome plastic (not saying these are chrome though but you know what i mean).

There are some others on there but these were the ones i chose.

They came with 2 door lock covers, i guess in case you have one on the passenger side and 4 full blanking ones.

I recently resprayed my handles as they were in a bad state.

They were relatively pain free to do - they come out easy enough.

I sanded then primed then a couple of coats of colour and a couple of coats of laquer.

The drivers door handle wouldn't come out so I just masked up the entire side of my car and did it on - used a chopstick to hold the handle out for some parts.

Came up quite well. I'll get a pic up tomorrow night.
