They look ok' ish on your car but I think they may not look right on darker colours or Tourers

Agree with Zeb in that in some photos they look quite good but in others they don't look quite right - may just be a side-effect of the dry fitting. Are they a perfect match or do they require alterations to fit?
Looks good on your car - I like them |

I'm not convinced, but it's interesting to see.
IMO would look terrible on a tourer. If you want to get rid of those horrible chrome handle finishers, just let me know.

They look great on the driver's side, but poor on the passenger's. Something to do with the temporary fitting, perhaps? Great, I like them, provided they can be made to look "factory fitted".

i think they would look better colour coded to the car, always wondered why this wasn't done.

they need a little fitting work as the originals for MB are larger but nothing serius, very easy to be done

Not sure about them. They look nice in the close up shots, very nice, but in the full side view distance shot they look not so good.

Has anyone in the UK done this modification or had the them colour matched to their car?? If so would be very interested to see the result as original door pillars are now becoming very scarce.

It would be easy enough to colour match them to your car, as they are removable and metal, so all you would have to do is spray them
