Seen CAtuned are doing these handles and looks like Llot of people are into them and they sell out quick whats the interest in them here in the UK as i work as a CNC machinest and laser engraver and my work is capable of producing these.

Just thought id see if there was enough interest to get quotes from work either as a sets of handles to buy, laser yours or maybe exchange basis.

someone from the usa has tried to sell them on here before, but wanted daft money, if you could do them reasonably priced you could do well

Would love a set of 4 custom ones for my imminent touring....... :mad:

I would buy a set for a reasonable price...if possible get a price and a few samples as some do not look as nice as others due to size and positioning of letters

I would consider the relatively low post count be the judge on how popular they will be on here, there are probably other forums or eBay where they may prove moreso.
Don't waste your time and money making up different samples and styles because somebody suggests it.
Polsta for one will never order a set no matter how cheap they'll be. unless if you can somehow hack real oem and add a schematic and part number for a Tech I along with NLA, you'll be able to hold him to any ransom! :D

I would make a set of BMW motorsport ones up and post up some pictures so that people can see your work then go from there.

Unless people pay you before you do the custom ones there is no point as if they change their minds your going to be stuck with a pair of handles no one wants.

For sensible money I would be interested, if they looked good, but no way if pay £100 a pair like others seem to be for sale at.
cheers,

Really?

Quite desirable on a genuine Motorsport car to be honest, a guy offered me £400 for mine when the car was at gaydon one year..... :mad:

Already got them ... and they don't look tacky.
Maybe on a light car .. but with a dark colour they look good.
