ImageSYMPTOMS OF A BOOST JUNKY

1. You get excited when it's cold outside.
2. You fill up every three days.
3. The size of your grin is directly proportional to the amount of boost you’re on.

They were very very easy to fit......clean the handles with water then wipe down with the alcohol wipes that were provided....then simply stick on using the double sided 3M tape that also came with covers....

The whole process probably took no longer than 15 mins.....

They look really nice. I had them before I had my accident and they looked like the solid ones which I have now due to blagging BMW!

Door Handle Covers

Post by Guest »

I have had these on my Zed for about five years, and been very pleased with them. They are made by Wellstar, and are availbale at most 'go-Faster Goodies' stores for the E36 range.

I wasn't impressed by the sticky tape fixing for the handle surround, and took it out, using black silicone rubber instant gasket material, rubbing off the surplus the next day.
