Jet Black C63 door handles??
So today it hit 60 degrees here in NJ, so i finally got the chance to detail my car. Clayed/polished/waxed. CAr was gleaming, than i realized as the sun reflected off the door handle that my door handles seem to be metallic. Almost like Obsidian Black. So i checked the others, and all 4 handles are metallic. CAr was purchased brand new with 6 miles on it, so i doubt theyve been repainted. Could the factory have installed the wrong handles? Tried to take a pic, but it just wouldnt come out right.

Welcome to the club of 040 Black C63s with 197 Black handles! I also believe it's to prevent showing scratches easily especially as that's what you grab everyday you drive.
