I bought a set of “chrome”-finish door-handle covers from Powerful and am very happy with them. Yes, they’re plastic but they look good (after a year). You can feel a slight edge where they cover the original handles but you soon get used to that. Fitting is easy – just make sure they’re properly lined up before pressing into place. It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.

I bought a set of chromed over metal door handle covers for my RR. They are not plastic chrome, cost a bit but still look good after 18 months. I think the they were from. powerful UK. Travelling around in circles again. |

Has always appeared to me that the overwhelming majority of forum members go for the Powerful handle covers which can be bought to the colour code of your choice and represent good vfm. Been contemplating a set for ours but put off a wee bit about a few references to being able to feel the edge/ close up you can tell they're covers etc. |

TBH, if you fit them correctly, you'd be hard pushed to tell that they are covers, even up close. Makes a huge difference, if like mine, your handles are looking a bit worn. |

You could just repaint your handles, did mine a while ago and they still look like new

I went for a set of solid Stainless Steel, on the logic that I couldn't mess up the finish, and if I did scratch them I'd just get out the Autosol and restore them Plus they do have the distinct advantage that they are not so in yer face as the chrome plated plastic ones. And I personally think that they set the car off very well Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Got a set of chrome plastic covers from powerful.uk for my FF as the handles were flaking and grubby (to say the least). Fitted them quite easily and you can't really tell they're covers, look very good and set off the vehicle quite nicely.
