| You can get chrome effect door handles, which I saw on alex_ninja's car. If he see's this hopefully he'll pipe up and tell us all where he got them from (as I've forgotten already...)

| The chrome (and carbon effect) door handle covers are from JHM Buttcos and cost about £40, they are easy to stick on and when ordering you have to specify how many key locks the car has (2,1 or none) for the caps. Not sure on how they would look on a Stone Grey car, but on a red one they look the gerbils gonads.
