Any opinions on this?
My car's in the body shop at the moment and I've been thinking about having them spray the door handles too. The car is Zinnobar red - how do you all think it would look?
I recall seeing a picture of one with it done and thought it looked pretty cool
Cheers folks!

With you there Willow.
My old man hand colour coded handles on his white 4 dr and it made the car look a lot cleaner, so I got a spare pair for mine of demo. Just need to get 'em painted now.
But need to get the lock surrounds as well though which I forgot.

Demlotcrew and Karan have this and it looks spot on, but i think their cars are de-locked too so it locks pretty clean, go for it!!

Right, just called them, the door handles were off anyway, so they're just gonna spray them alongside something else - no extra charge

red handles and a de-lock are definately the way to go. looks sooooo much better willow.
if you don't like it you can always put a replacement pair from a scrappy back on.

Don't shave the door handles, that looks really bad. You will regret it too when the door popper solinoid doesn't work because its too cold.
I have shaved locks/sidemoldings on my car, with body color handles. Love it, makes it much cleaner.
