    Thoughts on chrome door handles

    Wrapped one of my door handles chrome today to give my E30 an older 60s/70s car appearance. Being that my car is a series 1 that came with old-timey looking chrome trim all around, I think it can pull off the chrome door handle look and I think it looks way classier than the original black door handles that came on the car. What are R3v’s thoughts?

    I'm partial to keeping OE, well OE..

    But it doesn't look out of place on an earlier car with chrome trim and euro bumpers

      If that goes on a late model it will look bad, agree with above, okay on earlies, but that doesn't mean you should do it.

        It doesn't look bad at all, though I personally prefer black.
