CF Handle Covers

Does anyone have these? It seems like they've appeared through the mbworld forums a few times but I haven't seen any other pictures.




Idk they look kinda cool.

They look cool, but most likely stick on. Which looks off in real life.

They do look cool especially on white, but I also assume it is stick on and will have an edge to it you can catch on and might feel funny when using the handle, but do like the look!

Aren't the chrome OE ones also stick-on or held by adhesive? I'd think that these carbon ones replace that altogether, avoiding the problems above? There's no evidence in that picture of any edge, but could have been Pchoped out. But if these go OVER the chrome, agree that's garbage.

If these would replace the chrome as opposed to going over them, sign me up for a set.

Ditto. I can black all my trim and change my emblems (in the process) but not much can be done about the door handles. Where did you find those Adi?

Agree. I tried wrapping the chrome insert/trim and it looked like chit.

Robson shows these for a W204 in their thread. Might be worth a look.

Thanks Mort. At least that thread is easy to find

--------------------if you know what I mean ---------------------------

EDIT: It looks like a full handle. Which is cool but I shudder to think of the cost.
Ill pm and see though.

Those things are all over eBay. They're clip on covers and from other pics I've seen online look like chit. I doubt Robeson's making a full or wrapped CF handle, but we'll see.

They'd look good if they were just black imo.

How much work was that? Inside of the door is sealed up pretty tight.

Not mush work. Inside the door there is a plug that you remove and stick a torx wrench in to unscrew. The screw is about 6 in deep so you will need a torx wrench at least that long

If you pull on the door handle you can see a small screw

I saw this too and it is a great link to file for future but I am still not clear as to whether the chrome bits are a film. I tend to think not but cannot be sure.

Sorry, totally forgot about this thread.

I found this image by typing in "w204 carbon fiber," ....theres a lot of mods people have done in the past but were not common, so I was looking to see if I could find anything different. Which reminds me of another piece...


anyways nothing links to a store so I have no idea. It definitely looks better than full covers but it could just be a random edit

I like the top ones that just replace the upper portion of the handle. Does anyone have a writeup of how the handle comes off? I know there is a torx bit there on the handle.
