A bit more chrome
Decided to put the chrome door handle recess cups on the new GLC. Dealer quoted US$130 for all 4 (said they would install), I got them (OEM) for half that on eBay. Installation, including cleaning the recesses with isopropyl, took all of 10 minutes and was easy.

I like the look and my old ML had lots of ring scratches in the recesses. If that happens now, I can replace these.

Not great photo quality - was taken in the dark, with the door handle lights on.

It looks great!

Never understood why anyone would want their car looking matte/dull.

Must be impressive in the dark with the door handle lights on. Can't really tell from the photo.

Here's another - photo quality equally as bad, but shows them lit up. Also another in daylight.

My car has that option on the build sheet. Chrome door handle surrounds they're called. Looks like you can aftermarket em.

No, it is not the handle itself. It is the door handle recess.
