Re: chrome door handle covers

Thanks for the update Mike. It is a shame that they did not work. I was thinking about buying a set.

Re: chrome door handle covers

I bet a belt sander would do the trick also.

After all that excitment - what a pity, it was a gamble but too good to be true! Ah well thanks for giving it a try

the chrome piece is too short. Our handles stretch out a bit more. The keyhole piece fits perfect though

Even if you grind down the ridge how are you going to make them "longer"

Rats! I ordered them too and have been waiting for them to come but guess its a no-go

And just checked the sellers site NO REFUNDS!!! Bugs me that you can find chrome door handle covers for an Aspen but not a XF!

As far as chrome, first the GAP grill overlay, then the strakes & v6 symbol, chrome pin striping on wheels. Wonder if I could of got chrome slasher stripes?

Re: chrome door handle covers

Anybody know if the 300C chrome door handle covers will fit? I saw one today and they seem to look just like ours - and as its a 4 door you're effectively getting 2 sets for the price of 1!

You might want to check with James at Autoexclusive. He was working with a Chinese company to make covers for the Crossfire.

Re: chrome door handle covers

Thanks FP,

I'm actually in the process of buying a few bit from him for the interior - I have a thing for chrome - a bit like yourself from what I've read!
