Yes, me.
and me. I would have black handles on every colour to accent the sideblades and the option black sport mirrors.

I have them and even I don’t care that much! - just thought might break up the side profile and “tick”.
Difficult to see how it is helpful to get somebody else’s opinion on a cosmetic addition, particularly one as mundane?

You're one of the few. Are you worried about the colour of the foglight surrounds?

It just so happens whoever had my car before me wanted black handles and on carmine it looks good I prefer them to the body colour just adds contrast but for some reason they left the roof spoiler in carmine I would have liked that black to bad

It’s all subjective and you should get what you want. Personally have black handles on Crayon but wouldn’t also have black side blades and half mirrors, as along with the window trim it’s (for me) just to much black. As I favour “Less is More” But your choice and nobody else’s.

You've missed the point, very helpful members on this site , generally, and when you ask a question about a particular spec, they post good quality pictures of the different options which you won't find anywhere else. Skyway's photos of a white car has put me off the black handles on white with black sideblades, whilst they look fine on a Crayon car.

Body colour looks best.

Black imo look like well, ……. remember Medallion Man of the 70’s that look goes with black handles.

Oh, damn, I have black door handles.
