Thanks but not keen on aftermarket mods.

you could just spray paint it satin black.... or order one from nissan i guess

A bit scuffed?? That’s had a hard life!

Hydro dipped piano black then maybe instead of carbon.

Sand it, prime it, paint it, done.

I sanded mine back, sprayed with primer, sanded again then vinyl'd in a pearl white to match my exterior.. still not happy with the vinyl though so I've got attempt #3 soon lol... Would have been much easier to just spray it satin black to look OEM again!!

 

Hydrodipping has good results and you can get home kits too so can be cost effective - Either way you will have to sand it back as if you dipped/sprayed/vinyled how it is, you will see the scuff marks come through... Takes patience but definitely a DIY job imo.

Hi,

How easy is it to remove the handle, anybody seen any instructions how to do it?

2 minute job - 1 bolt & unclip. Plenty of more detailed guides on here if you search.

Where can I get hold of the carbon fibre lookalike replacement arm rest covers for both doors?

[ShortPaul]

Maybe get them dipped

We got a guy who specialises in this stuff to do 2 handles, one worse than that, touch up on the dash cubby, plus attend to worn seat bolster. Total cost was £100 and we’re very pleased with result!

Thanks for the info. Where would I need to take my car to? Don’t mind a bit of a journey. I live in North Staffs.

Chap is mobile but based in Swansea so definitely "a bit of a journey"!!

 

I would have thought there must be someone in your area offering a similar service though....
