 I think I have tracked down some stainless mirror covers for the C6 (do love a bit of TASTEFULL bling) they are the same mirror back covers on the Citroen C5 MK2 (2008) (the mirror base where it fits to the car is different but the covers are the same numbers) so I will be ordering a set and let you all know, how much, if they are good quality and how well they fit and look, must say the stainless door handle trims I fitted help the look even more than they have the right to on such a pretty car, did I just say that?

 Hi Mercury,

Where did you purchase the door handle trims, and how much were they?

Thanks

 Thanks Simon, much appreciated. Any chance of you posting a picture of your car once fitted so I can decide whether or not to invest?

 Hmmmmm. Interesting. Not sure about these - I think they could look quite arresting, but I'm not sure I like diluting the looks of such an original.

 Of course everyone has their own taste and desires, my wife with her two heads and green skin would not be everyone's cup of tea, but then again it helps me overlook her furry hands and chest. I understand you views and respect them, I feel it enhances the look and just makes a car that is already very individual, just a little more so. To be honest surely we must all be a little eccentric to even own a C6, let alone constantly forgive its little idiosyncratic nature. I will get some pictures of her when she is back from her service/cambelt change etc and you can all make your own minds up. Kindest regards, Simon

 I'm interested in what they feel and look like once fitted.

Obviously they don't wrap around the handle so is there a sharp, noticeable edge? I'm sure they look great but how do they feel aftermarket?

 The door handle covers feel fine. I have had them on my cars for 5+ years.

There are pictures on site showing them

Here they are on my old Grey Lignage:



And here's a closer view on a Blue Exclusive:

 Thanks Dave,

They certainly look very nice. Well, on your advice, I'm ordering a set!
