    Default Chrome door handles. Anyone tried a set from DRL Trading on Feebay?

    If you have tried a set please let me know what the quality is like, do they fit well and do they stay on. I have a white Omega ute and I think the chrome might look better than the crappy black ones.
    Thanks, Stu.

    Mate I have the genune Holden chrome trimmed ones. Not the caps. I have seen the caps and I think they look tacky. I know they are expensive (they cam on my car) but if you really want them, I suggest buying the Holden ones and doing it properly.

    Pics, actually keen to see how these look. I don't plan on getting any as they wouldn't suit my car but I do want to see them.

    I had them for a while and I'm really not a fan. They feel tacky but they do look ok. Check my thread for pics.

    They scratch your paint were the door handle pivots the covers dig into the paint work.. I took mine off lucky the damage mostly buffed out.. They look good but need to be re designed to prevent this. Holden ones are shit they only have a chrome strip not worth the coin.

    Thanks for the help guys. I think I will leave it and try and find a set of white ones instead.
    Cheers Stu.
