    Default Colour coded or chrome?

    Door handles that is! Is it easy to get them off to paint them or would it wear off too quickly? I like the chrome covers, so would it just be easier to go for some of these? What does everyone think?

    Several posts in the how2 section of removing the handles. Also replacing/covering with chrome. eg:-

    would say definitely go with chrome covers instead of colour coded, i've got chrome fitted to my metro blue and they look good!

    And me. Chrome wouldn't look right against the Star Silver paintwork of my Vectra anyway, IMHO. Chrome suits some colours better than others.
