Chrome Interior Door Handles

Spot the difference and tell me what you think.

I'll give you a hint:

These were recently acquired and fitted earlier today. These components are aluminium cast and plated in chrome and that's how they come! Without the aluminium door cup, the OEM black plastic item will more than offset these. :)

The door cups, I found in a scrap yard and paid about £50 for them and simply polished them up. The chrome handles came via an Ebay listing (L200) and were a bit of a gamble. After showing them off on the UK site, the stock disappeared off Ebay almost immediately.

The cheapest a breaker seems to be willing to sell them for is £60. But I have a spare pair....and am not looking for that - much lower.

post them up in the for sale section and you may just have a sale. I would have jumped on a full set a few months ago, but i'm quite happy with the regular ones at the minute.
