I'm considering the chrome door handle cup inserts from MiniMania, but I'm not positive that I'll like the look. They look nice in the picture, which is just of the door handle itself. Does anyone know of any photos of these that include a bit more of the car for context?

Thanks,
Chris

For some reason, it doesn't seem possible to link to the pics on minimania.com. That pic is only a closeup anyway, though. Surely someone must have these! (No, I don't, and don't call me Shirley...)

It is possible that no one has them since they have been back ordered for almost two months (I ordered a set the end of Jan and the still are not here )
They looked cool enough in the pictures for me to go for them, if I don't loke them I can always take them off again.

will the chrome inserts scratch the paint under them?
and the chrome will show finger print smudges
i want to paint my door chrome handles to match my roof (black) or my wheels & interior (anthracite)......cause the chrome is always smudged with finger prints

Priscilla, good luck digging out, and hope you can post a pic once you finally get to install them! This seems like something that would look great with certain colors (pepper white, for example), and maybe not so great with others, like yellow. What color is your car?

BRG MCS with checkerboard roof. The more I think about it the more "retro" (classic Mini) I feel like going so I am starting to think about the "chrome" grill and boot handle as well
