Colour coded door handles pictures
Hi everyone, first ( apparently second) post here. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and purchase a zermatt silver HSE 2010MY disco today and am already looking to spruce it up a bit. I'm thinking about colour coded door handles but cannot find any pics of a car with them, can anyone point me in the right direction. Also looking for 20" wheels and sill covers to cover the light scratches on the sills
Thanks

I colour coded the door handles on my Freelander 2 - IMHO it gave the car an air of quality.
Why can't LR fit colour coded handles as standard? After all, the D4's cost enough and should relflect their quality in simple detailing like colour coded handles.2017 Discovery Sport HSE, Firenze Red

Oh that does look good, that is also the first car I have seen where i like the side rails, do youhave any pictures from front or rear 3/4 view. I always think they stick out too far but yours look good from here!

Must agree the handles look much better body coloured. Was it a big job on the D4? I got hold of a set of new handles for my Freelander 2 and had those painted then replaced the originals.2017 Discovery Sport HSE, Firenze Red

Thats what I did it was easy ,the clip off the smaller part of the handle broke on two of the handles but otherwise a straight forward job

I'm glade someone posted this as I'm going to do the same thing with mine
Seems many dont get it done. I think it looks great. Plus the plastic wears eventually as well on the top and backside.
