Interior door handles/armrests

Hi all,

I just purchased an 03 MC and am excited to be joining the community!!! I have a question already for you guys... Since the car I bought was used it has some wear issues that I would like to remedy. Are there any interior door grip/handle (where you pull on the door to close it from the inside) covers or repair kits. The previous owner scratched quite a bit of the paint off this area and I am looking for a way to cover it with out replacing the whole part.

I saw in the product review page a review for the arm rest extender and it looks as though there is a black covering on the handle - this is what I am looking for.

Thanks for your help in advance and I look forward to contributing to this forum and am excited to be a MINI OWNER!!!

Jared

Also

Peter at MiniSpeed is a great guy.

Also, the color matches perfectly.

Here's how mine look:

Wow - That looks OEM!

MiniSpeed seems like a good company. I think I will also order the DIY leather steering wheel wrap and possibly their driver side column knee pad since there are some scratches there as well.

Thanks for the great website and picture.

Moss also has some nice covers. I have not seen them in person but they cover the entire area.

I just got these arm rests, I really like them on long highway trips, very comfy. And that is a Wheel skin wrap on the steering wheel which I also like. Both from Moss.

Hey Mark - I like the steering wheel wrap. Where did you get yours? I talked to Pete at MiniSpeed and he said they are revamping their wrap so it fits better and was thinking of getting it.
