Default painted door handle installation

Okay, it looks easy now that I got my color-matched door handles delivered today. But........ I just want to be careful. Any advice from someone who has made the swap, please!

I remember a thread on this, but can't locate it. Thanks for the help!

Absolutely no problem...all you need is a medium size phillips screw driver...remove two screws...gently wiggle off OEM part and then place new piece in and screw it..no need to tighten much..that is it

Thanks, very much for the reply. I am considered dangerous with a screw driver in my hand, but I should be able to handle this install.

I just took delivery two days ago (after waiting 7.5 months) of my LMB vert. I had never seen the C6 in person since order inception.

Wow, is this color great or what? It changes tone and intensity all during the day and is striking at all times. I have long admired your LMB coupe. I also just found out that my vanity plate order for Texas plates came through with "Blu Rkt". So, there you go, Mr. Blue!

What a car; and I think the handles will dress it up just a little more, not that it doesn't attract a crowd already, right? Thanks again for the heaqds up on the door handles.
