2013 GS. Colour coded mirror caps & door handles

Hi All

Trying to find out how easy it is to fit and the cost (my dealer was not sure when I asked ?) for colour coded (Fuji white) half mirror caps and door handles

Seen a couple on flee bay but not sure as its a 2013 model

Mine has just done 4,000 miles (5 months) and is just great - now getting about 36 mpg Smile

Any help appreciated

Thanks

MY11 mirror caps and door handles should be fine. Don't buy pre-MY11 mirror caps though, the MY11 has larger door mirrors than orders models, so caps for older models would not fit. Thumbs Up

Door exterior handles

Be careful locating door handles. I've been looking for chrome covers and being aware that there are two types I've looked carefully at MY 2011 / 2012.
There are shallow depth handles with sharp ended fronts; the other design is deeper with a sort of wood chisel front end. I think the deeper design must incorporate the keyless entry sensors (?).
To change handles will take some hours of work. Might it be an option to buy a set of chrome handle covers and have them glossed in matching colour. Perhaps some other forum member has tried and can comment.
.
Has any member got a set of grey interior door handle covers? I want to experiment with plastic primers and painting piano black. Has any member got any unused chrome exterior door handle covers going spare? 2010GS Auto ex Celeb, Santorini Black, 2011 facelift , spoiler, spats, mudflaps, LED footwell lamps, Witter detach,

I've got some grey interior/grab handles. I'm planning to upgrade them to the piano black trim like Mav71.

Thanks everyone for the info - will look out for some mirror caps, the handles sound a little tricky Very Happy
