What do people think to these?

Powerful sell them and the only ones I have seen were on NKSC's car, but I didn't like them because when when you grabbed the handle the inner edges were sharp so it ruined the 'feeling' of the opening motion.

Does anyone have any opinions?

I hate them for same reason and now I have brand new ones installed that look the part. Plan to have the ugly ones spray painted some day, in the body colour. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I put a set on mine because the original paint was worn on every handle. Painted them in Stornaway and IMO they look great. My Previous RR's!

have them on mine and they have an edge, but tbh i have stopped noticing them now, and they look better than the manky ones underneath. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I have them, obviously in silver, and felt the same as you regarding the edges. But I soon got used to it and the improvement in looks far outweighs those brief seconds when opening the door.

But it does seem a shame that Powerful didn't identify this and make them with rounded inner edges for a more quality feel. I'd happily pay a premium in price for that. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

So is everyone who has them saying the same thing, that they DO have this sharp inner edge?

The "sharp" edges are typical for the fabrication process of them. Removing the "sharpness" is a matter of elbow grease, take some sandpaper and smooth them out. I didn't like the look of mine (brushed stainless) as well as the rough edges. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I too feel its worth the brief feel to achieve a much improved "look".

The cost of new door handles, plus the "difficult" installation make the covers a good alternative. I'm still happy I went for new handles (I got them cheaply) as the car was immobile due to parts not having arrived anyway.

My preference would be to have my current handles painted in Zambezi, I wouldn't go for covers anymore, unless I stop being a lazy sod and take the time to smooth the edges but only for colour coded covers. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

As above , I don't like the sharp edge, but for the cost, prepared to live with it. Chipped Brunel grey wound me up every time I finished washing it.

If I ever have the opportunity ( cash ) will get them sprayed at same time as vents , grille etc Alcohol and eBay is never a good mix

Been following this one with interest. My new motor also has wear and tear to the handles - but also the recesses behind them. Covers won't sort that out . . .

My plan is to buy good used complete handles, get them painted (same as body colour) and swap over. At the same time taking the opportunity to replace the problematic wires in the front doors.

A load of work, I know, but maybe worth it in the long run . . . . . we shall see !

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I put some cheapy plastic chrome ones on, a much better look than the flaking brunel originals. These have just started to oxidise a bit on the vertical faces, after a couple of years, but still look very good. Also, being "chrome", rain water collects and stays on top so you can get a wet hand when opening up. Not a problem with the edges though, hardly notice it now. Fact is it is easily reversible if one wants to go back and get a paint job. .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
