Iv looked bout the forum and seen that people reccomend not painting the handles as they have a high wax content so Im thinking of buying covers and painting them as I can't find any that come in Zambezi silver, do I just get chrome ones then paint them? Also I want to colour code the mirrors, are these ok to paint? Cheers in Advance

I am contemplating the same but i have thought about buying pre painted in either black or dark grey and leaving them like that if i cant get zambezi?

I definitley want them colour coding but just unsure which ones to buy, I want a good fit and I can also see abs plastic ones and alloy ones for sale, I assume you need the real alloy ones to paint? Ideally I'd just paint the handles as not to worry about fitment but iv seen a few posts about the wax content reacting with the paint :s

i painted my original handles a year ago, never had a problem at all.

Did you just remove them and give them a good rub down? Are they easy enough to remove?

they dont take long to get off, you do have to take the door card off first though. after getting them off just give them a gentle rub down then prime, i used 1k single pack primer, after flatting down again after the priming i painted then laquered. makes the world of difference. i done a thread on it showing what i did to the car.

Dont buy chrome ones as paint will not take to chrome... We fit these from here all the time and they are very very good

silver look good as covers, heres a pic of mine:

Did you just buy some covers and paint them yourself? It looks ten times better with them painted, your car is pretty much the same as mine apart from the wheels

Cheapest and easiest is painted covers, any decent cover can be bought and painted, the same for the wing mirrors. You may want to get the cheap chrome ones on ebay that are full covers and get them painted up as its an improvement over the original ones

Other option is go to a body shop and see what they say. The biggest task for them will be masking the area off a good plstic adhesive base coat should cover the bases and seal it in well. A few extra coats of lacquer are best to be applied and a good backing if they can  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Don't think they do them in Zambezi, I'll just get some of the titanium silver ones and spray them of they are a decent fit
