The door handles will probably just lever off, just try gently prising the back plates, as for everything else, why not paint it all instead? why not convert to electric windows mate?

Can't be bothered lol
Wind-up boys do the trick - Less to go wrong :)
For the handles they just clip out of postion iirc and you just un hook the metal rod that goes into the back of them and then hook the rod back onto the new ones. It may be easier to take the door card off to see what your doing.
It's a 2 minute job.

Get a piece of piano wire and bend the end into a hook.
The clip is normally clipped on the back of the winder facing away from the handle bit. So slide the wire in between the handle and door card. Then twist so the hook bit grabs the clip. Short sharp yank away from the direction the handle is pointing and it should pop off.
Go careful not to lose the clip.... oh and I have black winders somewhere. Also have black door handle frame clip thingy bobs.
Edit: Have you got black sill trims?

if you dont manage to get the black handles pm me pal:thumb:
Think its just the Mk1's that come with the black winders.
Ive got a mk1 one and that come with like a grey colour dashboard , handles/winders and door pockets ect but i plastic primeres then painted all mine matt black and then laqured them ... they look perfect after a quick polish :thumb:
NOTE : on the window winders that the ends are like a rubber grip , mask them off as i herd that the paint will flake off . wich is pretty obvious
