Chrome Door Handle Covers?
Chrome Door Handle Covers?
I stumbled upon a web site that sells chrome door handle covers for M/B's, they carried two or three different one's. In the pictures they looked like they would work on the Crossfires, so I called them and asked if they new if they would work on a Crossfire and explained to them the relationship between M/B and the Crossfire. Well the guy I talked to started acting like a real "D" when I mentioned the word Crossfire and just kept saying "I can't help you sir" over and over. In the item description they had the numbers "140 chassis" & "163 chassis" does this mean anything to anybody that knows M/B's? They were running around $90 a set, I came close to ordering a set, but I figured start a thread to see if these chassis numbers would mean anything to someone that knew M/B.

Thank you,

Hi Steve,
W140 is a old S-Class Mercedes, W163 is the old M-Class Mercedes,
be sure that they don't fit. also the SLK ones don't fit the crossfire.

as for the chrome handle covers i don't think there is anyone that makes em as of yet... but the company that made the chrome grills and side vents... wonder why they did not do the door handles...
I guess the best thing to do is to have them removed and chrome dipped, but do not really know of a place that would do that.

I have also been searching for chrome door handles, they are not made for our cars and the SLK ones will not fit. The alternative is to remove yours or buy a new set from DChrysler and have them chromed. I was quoted from a chrome shop that only does auto restoration chrome a price of about $175.00 - $300.00 for a pair depending on the chroming technique.

They told me that chrome plating plastic the right way will cost a lot more than metal, I'm guessing the handles are probably plastic too, but here's the link. ---

PS. 2 days those people did not reply yet.
Re: Chrome Door Handle Covers?
I wonder if it would be possible to make a reverse jig/ mold of our door handles and use this guys SLK covers and heat press modify his to fit the crossfire. I understand about "leaving it alone", however this might be an option for those of us whose clearcoat is peeling at the door handles.
