Noice! really updates the look of the car! Are you sourcing parts from the dealer? Or a 'bone' yard?

Thanks. I sourced the parts from the boneyard aka eBay. The only tricky part is the key for the driver's door. My car is a 96 and the tumbler is effectively sealed to the cover. This means you need the lock portion from the donor car if your car is a 94-96 model year. The 97 and later cars have the lock as a separate part so the covers can simply be exchanged. Even better is that they come part with ease and I was able to reorder the tumblers so it is now keyed to my car.

Very nice upgrade. It makes the w202 a touch more modern. Think I'll do that next winter when shes hibernating.

I guess I'm lucky that my car is black, the handles don't stand out as much as they do on a silver car.

Looks good
