Nice, does it make a lot of difference visually?  I'm planning this.
I have a new drivers side grab handle and I've done the A/C dial surrounds which look great for the money... no, they look great even if they were £50.

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned it made a big difference because both my old handles had lots of marks and scratches and they ruined the look of the interior. The switches make it look a bit smarter and match nicely with all the original chrome bits. Probably just get used to it, but it does look much better now!

was looking to get some but wasnt sure on the quality being so cheap

where the grab handles just a straight like for like swap or have you some kind of visually different ones ?

was your old dv playing up or did you just change just in case, nothing wrong with mine but car is 5 years old and i wonder if it would make a difference ?

They are good quality to be fair mate.  

The only negs are that they stick out a little, but I knew this before purchase, and as you're probably thinking, hmm they will look nafff... they really don't, and will suit the rest of your chrome mods very nicely.  And secondly they are from China/HK... although this really isn't a problem these days if your willing to wait a bit... think they took around 7 working days for me.

Have a look at the previous page Scott. BIG pic of a fubar'd DV. For only £40 its worth getting one and changing it over as a precautionary measure as well as peace of mind.

thanks mc, excuse my noob knowledge of under the bonnet but would it be the same one for an 08 plate or are they not year dependant, maybe i should get this changed just in case, i will look for a fitting thread if i buy one.
i have no problem with my cars acceleration but you never know as over the years it might have lost some ooomph
cheers

is that from the same seller yeah ?
i have seen some higher prices, up to £40 or so which led me to believe that some where way better than others - maybe not though
thanks again

I have no great idea of under the bonne buisness, i bought a dv for precautions and it payed off!! Its unlocked so much power !

....They don't normally increase power. So I can only think that your old DV had an undetected leak in the diaphram which could have reduced power - Not uncommon.
