Do you guys recomend having your door handles painted,or replacing them with something like these?

I bought a set of the handle covers from the crowd, have to say I was very happy with them, they fit well, are supplied with clear instructions, little wipes, extra glue and the like. I would imagine they are a LOT easier than trying to get the handles painted, and I would say I fitted the whole set in around half an hour.

I did go chrome, which is a matter of personal taste, but good products and good company.

I'd say just get them painted....I have ordered mine with colour coded door handles and it didn't put much on the cost

Some early cars in 2005 (like mine) have 1 piece handles so don't have inter changable covers, check first if yours is an 05.

If yours are 1 piece then you need to buy replacement handles not covers. I found that because not many RRS have this they are cheaper than covers.

I got these slightly cheaper ebay ones http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...0454920594

Come as both one piece and 2 piece option in one kit.

Took 10 mins to do, and is superb quality. All push/clip fit, no gluing required

Hardest to do is the passenger door, which requires you use the ignition key to unlock the cover, but be careful when removing the key after!

My dealer did not want to paint mine when i asked.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Not sure if i have asked already, awd man did you have to replace the full handle?

I need to as mine are 1 piece and i dont like the idea of pulling it out of the door only to find i cant get the new handle connected up. Im dying to fit them but have no balls

No I was lucky mate..
