Glove box handle?
« on: 19 March 2008, 15:53 »
Does anyone know if you can get the handle in chrome like you can the door handles?

Would finish the dash off a treat! :grin:

Will have a look, not going OTT with the chrome, just subtle bits that maintain an OEM look but make it look a bit newer!

Haha! I'm on No. 2, still going strong! The first lasted 15 years so not to worried!

No joy on ebay.de so think it'll be a DIY job once I get a 'spare' handle to play with!! :grin:
