Default SS Interior Door Handle Cover

I have seen some stainless steel covers for the black plastic door handles on the inside of the NB. Can't seem to find them on any web sites. Anyone know of what I'm referring to and where I could find them?

www.gpastyling.co.uk might have a few sets left over, I think the company, MDA, went out of business.

Approx $100 a set w/shipping: http://www.gpastyling.co.uk/search/d...n=4&category=7

Danbike,

We just received two sets. One set is reserved for you if you still want them.

Lmhansen, would you like the other set?

If anyone else is interested, please let us know, or you can order them from the link that we posted above. They make a tasteful addition to any New Beetle interior.

They use the 3M trim double sided tape. Be sure you spend some time forming it to the shape of the handle BEFORE you peel the release material off of the adhesive. I spent about 15 minutes getting the two of them to fit and they are solidly stuck. If you don't take the time, well. . . .
