Inner door handle

skipraider · 09-01-2017, 11:05 AM

I've always preferred the contrast of the light leather with the black switches/door handle surrounds like you get on the opal interior etc. So, I've changed the window switches, i now need the handle surrounds to match.

Does anyone know if these just pull out, or if they are secured to the door card from the other side? Anyone know where to get them from too?

Handle is stuck on with black rivets which can be removed by heat gun .

You will have to take door card off for this job .

Not sure I want to do that, potentially making rattles. I might leave it for now, although it looks a bit odd with the black door switches.

I wouldn't bother either mate too much hassale for small handle cover.

Why don't you try painting door ambient lights strip in Gloss black

Wouldnt really fancy painting the strips. I couldn't get a perfect finish and it would bug me. Maybe wrap them gloss, then it could be reversed.
