I don't see why they wouldn't. I think they will fit the handles on ours, as well as the 300c. They're cheap enough that it won't be a big loss if they dont fit. Just my opinion.

 

I think the only difference is our cars have that center spline going along the length of the handle.

Have emailed to ask - they prob dont know but we will see, they are very cheap and quality may be poor. Lets see!

 

We won't rest untill we know! One of us needs to take a gamble here Fernando, toss a coin for it my friend - and let me know, heads you buy some, or if its tails I will buy some !
Cheers

Tails......

 

Shucks - I walked right into that one!

 

I'm pretty sure they'll fit. Just take a look at yours, kinda match them up, and I'm sure they'll be fine. I bought a set for my wife's new Escape, and they are really good quality ABS plastic and really made the handles pop. She loves them and should have come as standard equipment on the Escape Ltd she has. Just match them up, they're just covers and again I think will be fine,

 

OK, Ive been in a buying mood all weekend so I might as well give it a shot

 

You could just buy slk door handles and then buy these. They would fit for sure then.

 

On the handles on Ebay, is that 10 bucks for a pair of handles, or just one?

 

All Parts Sold Are Exactly The Same As Shown In The Listing Picture. So, yes it is for the pair. The listing also states that you can request to have keyholes for both sides.

 

Thanks Mr M! For that cheap it is worth a shot to try them!

 

They look like chromed plastic covers. I bought a set similar for a Mini. It's plastic chrome stuff is amazing; but there are quality differences. Some will have the "chrome" wear off after several polishings whist others seem to have a life of their own. The covers look great, but remember we don't have any chrome on our cars and, other than the emblems, just the silver coated stuff. If you start adding this type of bling you'll end up blinging the grill, windshield wraparound, side vents...

 

From the eBay listing..... "Made of Plastic With Automotive Grade Chrome Finish"

 

Speak for yourself on Crossfire with no Chrome! Everything that was the silver paint is now chrome on mine! I even have the chrome door handle inserts. Thats why I was wanting the door handles to finish off the silver.. I like "bling" on black!

 

That's what I'm saying, once you start you can't stop.

Do you have photos?
I imagine it is a stunner!
And, maybe I'm a little jealous...

 

I have emailed supplier to ask if they know if these will fit our cars - will let you know if they come back with aby info'

 

If the handles do fit, the ones below would be more durable even though they cost little more. I have had polished stainless before and its just like chrome..

Well guys, I bought the door handles above and they just came in Sad to say they dont fit! The Crossfire's ridge down the middle pulls it away from the handle and the chrome piece is too short. Our handles stretch out a bit more. The keyhole piece fits perfect though! Oh well! Maybe one day they might have something for us..Ill post pics later how it didnt fit..
