Here are some pictures of door handle covers I picked up on Ebay. From the UK and total price with shipping $58 and change. Good Quality and a snap to mount. Have a nice day.:)

The chrome matches the color of your car well. Plenty of chrome on my jag too :)

Before the chrome-eliminators and the chrome-boosters start chiming in, I kinda like it. it does work with your color better than it would with Black (mine) or Red, or, I suspect, most other colors.

But it does look nice on your ride.

i have them on my dark red X-Type and love them, def a good pick up

Not bad at all with that color. Are they metal? Just thinking they might get a little toasty in the sun although you really don't grab the top of it.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Yes they are metal, I was surprised they were. Trim like this you can buy in the colonies is usually plastic.

I held my breath when mounting them hoping they would look good, I thought they did after I mounted them, my son Adam Jr, said they were OK. But he was never a car guy like the old man. But if you guys like them, I love them.:)

The chrome pillar trim is not a bad idea, the seller I got these from carries those also, plus the trim rings for the headlights and taillights.:)

exexpat 04-30-2011 02:25 PM

Just say no to pillar trim.

aluni2230 04-30-2011 06:06 PM

I have the headlamp chrome rings and the chrome mirror covers. But my mirror covers are from jag and not stick ons.

I don't think I am brave enough to consider the chrome pillars. The x type isn't low or long enough to pull off the chrome pillar look in my humble opinion.

I see Porsche Cayenne's with them and they look odd. I wonder if it's an official accessory since I have seen multiple Cayenne's with the chrome pillars, door handles and mirror covers.

Yea I seen an x with the chrome pillars and man does it look odd I defenetly stay away from them

Cadillac 05-01-2011 03:47 AM

I would say go for it ,however for thicker door pillars like Chevy Cruze this is gonna look oddish for good lol

I looked at the picture of the pillar covers and now I have second thoughts. I think a full cover over the B pillars would be better. The ones I see on Ebay are thin and are more like surrounds.:)

I'm more into the sport look but those actually look good. On the other hand if you put pillar chrome on it will look odd and the handles won't look good.
