How do you get the chrome handles?

On some C's, the top of the door handle is chromed. I think this is REALLY nice, especially with the white color. Can you select the chromed tops when you order the car?

NOTE: Not talking about the chromed door handle recesses.

Chrome handle tops were always part of the Elegance package on the W203 - Here in SA they are not available on the W204 - I think the 204 handles look cheap without them. Tried to order them for a family member when we ordered her car & we were told not available at all.

i dont think thats what he means, or at least not the ones im thinking of. I like the ones on the E class that have a small slither of metal on the handle.

Yep - That's it. My W203 is like that - Our W204 is not even after asking. Hopefully we will get next year.

Yup, those ones. Look damn nice in white. Saw a C350 at my local dealership & asked if you could get them. They said "special cars only" XD

I didn't ask if you could order them (I'm in Canada), because I was looking at in stock and coming models, not ordering my own. But now I'm thinking about ordering a 2010 with everything I want.

Yes, but these are mounted on top of the existing handles, wont this make them very bulky?

On top of that, wont there be a tiny gap in order to fit the double side tape.

The door handles on the W204 have sort of an indentation so they should fit relatively flush. I've always eyed this aftermarket add-on but had the same thoughts like how do they adhere, fitments,water tightness, wear & tear on a frequently touched part, etc.

They are only associated with Keyless Go, if you have Keyless Go you should have them.
Same thing like Led tail light is associated with bi-xenon

Excellent, those would indeed fit better being attached by glue rather than sticky tape.


Who can locate the part number for these pieces?

Front Left:
A204 760 03 70 9999 Handle
A204 766 05 25 9999 Cover

Front Right:
A204 760 04 70 9999 Handle
A204 760 06 20 9999 Cover

Rear Left

Handle same as front, left rear cover different:
A204 760 05 20 9999


9999 is base coated, limited factory painted ones available:

9197 Obsidian Black
9723 Cubanite Silver
9775 Silver Iridium
9963 Iridium Grey met

Just add these numbers instead of 9999 to get the color of choice.

The last four digits of the part number is the color code, 9999 means base coated or colorless if you want.

With "cover" I mean pos 130 in this pic wich is also needed if you want a complete assembly.

We are looking for the Chrome top that goes on the handle & cover - not the whole handle & cover. Would appreciate if you can find that
