I guess a colour coded handle would match the colour coded door handles, but whatever you prefer!

Yeah, was quite handy. And true, didn't think of it like that.

I prefer the tailgate handle in black, BUT i still reckon the doorhandles should be matching ;) you not thought about it yet Ben ?

Thank you :)

Nothing is black tho! It's all metallic grey. As bumpers and trim are grey when they leave the factory. If anything, the boot grab would go blue to match the handles. As the handles are ment to blend in..

Looking Ultra Smooth, all looks spot on IMO, wheels are the best change in a long time dude.

you need to gen me up then matey. The best wheels are all massive fitment like you said but problem is offset most of the time. I mean I could live with buying ET38 - ET40 rims and taking off a couple mm off the hub to get them closer to what I want but some of these wheels are 0 - 30 offset so will ruin everything.
