I suggest indeed the plastic covers as well: cheap & cheerful.

But their plastic extractor is useless & rubbish.
Far better to use smooth flat pliers that work nicely and a drop of WD40 before introducing. Easy to push, easy to pull and I haven't lost any so far.
And the look is changed dramatically: just that tiny detail is enough to improve it.
