2018 Door Handle Conversion lol

I couldn't handle the '18 door handles with the chrome strip... Didn't like wrapping it either so good ole AutoTalent procured me '19 door handles from Germany...

For those looking for another solution - this is another way to go... Handles come unpainted...

The handles itself weren't so bad - like $5x.xx each... Drivers door is a few dollars more but give or take $50 each...

Paint from a reputable shop plus install was less than $200

Dealership didn't charge me anything to install - depends on your relationship with SA... I opted for dealership because there's delicate fiber optic cables inside the harness...

Less than $400? Or right around there?

If you are looking to do it, reach out to AutoTalent as they know all the serial numbers and whatnot... When dealership and IND gave us part numbers, they were for the current door handles on the '18 - system doesn't realize there's new handles '19 and onwards...

Can't stomach the chrome strip either, ehh? It's because it's leftover handles from X3 and possibly X1, can't remember... Fucking 5 series shares same door handles as X3, lol... Who knew?

So outta place. There is not really a wrap that matches Donington Grey so I had no other options until now )). Told myself it was ok since I have the two tone wheels but those are on the way out so the chrome needs to go.
