As my Queen has just gone through some rust repairs in the usual lower places with a full respray, she's still in the shop till after the 7th of January when the techs will finish attaching all the trims. I'm thinking of replacing the black door handles with colour coded handles. I've seen the W210 ones (see photo below) but don't find them very sexy as I don't like the shiny chrome surround. Does anybody have a different solution and are the w208 perhaps different without the chrome surround?

P.S. The photos are not of my baby but a similar one including licorice protection around the wheel well surrounds



Don't really dig the chrome surround, but otherwise it looks cool

Thanks for the info Denis. I'll check with my local MB parts friends to see if available and check the price

I knew about the w210 classic handles, but didn't know the w208 handles fit the front. Neato.

After some time with my thinking cap on, I'll be checking with my paint shop to see if they can paint them instead of replacing them. Probably cheaper too

UPDATE
======
So popped by the paint shop this afternoon just to check if it was open and as it is supposed to be closed till Monday. The door was closed but unlocked, as the boss was working on his motor boat.
He'll be able to paint the handles in the same paint code as the bodywork, so that will certainly be cheaper than getting new parts
