Really down to your own personal taste , I tried them on mine and they were Sh.1te looking so I took them off ... but each to their own as I say and if you are happy with them that's the main thing .... |

It doesn't look right on black, I wondered how silver would look on MC blue, as the badges and tailgate strip have been done in silver, its the handles that let it down in appearance now. If it dont work.......burn it!

I've got a silver car and I fitted some solid stainless steel covers to the handles to hide the fact that most of the paint had chipped off, they now look standard to me, and would recommend them. As for a black car if you wanted to dull them down they do brushed stainless steel as well. The stainless steel is duller than chrome, and therefore not too blingy. But be careful there are thousands of ABS chrome handles out there, cheap and tacky, and far too shiny for me.

I've just looked at your picture again, are you sure that they are silver.... they look more like day glow white on my screen! I'd ditch 'em and fit the solid stainless steel, they wont rust, and if you scratch them, they can be polished! Plus because they reflect the world they have a more OEM look, and as they aren't chrome they are not in-yer-face! And as a bonus they are about 35% cheaper that the painted plastic things. £32 upwards on fleabay. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
