C350 Coupe

Owners of Black Coupes!!

Look at your door handles. The paint is metallic. I looked at my handles today and thought that there was a mistake. I looked at other cars on the new car lot and they all had metallic handles.

My C350 Artic White has body colored handles but my wife's 2011 C300 4Matic has chrome like handles. Never really noticed that much before.

AFAIK the chrome trim door handles relates to vehicles fitted with the 'comfort package' ie. keyless go etc. as mentioned above
