Silver door handles?

Just about to go and see a fabia VRS and noticed in the pictures it has silver door handles, asked the owner and he says they were an option. Im really not sure if i like these at all, can they be removed? Is it just a cover?

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Re: Silver door handles?

As for as a I am aware there is no cover - so you can't remove them.

Really, you don't like them? Black handles (like on mine) I think make the car look cheap.

There are cheap looking imitation chrome covers around, but I've not heard of colour coded covers.

A previous owned to him may have had them body coloured in the past.

Re: Silver door handles?

Re: Silver door handles?

Silver door handles reflect sunlight in such a manner to create a halo of positively charged particles along the flanks of the car,thereby improving the drag factor by 50%.
As if that wasn't enough,they look well kewl.
THE most cost effective mod EVER.Bar none.
So I've heard.
From a bloke down the pub.

The ones in the above pic are Milotec ones, which are glued on. So yes, basically. I don't know if they will be removable without damaging the handle.
