And some lowering springs, spacers accentuate the wheel arch gap, particularly on the rear. I have a 65 mm gap between tyre and arch with 25 mm rear spacers - which I’m now looking into closing up.

Certainly agree. Can you drop a car with Skyhook without making all the warning lights go crazy ?

Ok, so put simply, the handle covered went on very easily (the pre-applied thin tape works well). Peel off the backing, push them on and hold until you get bored.

The mirror caps on the other hand were indeed a bit of a ball-ache. The roll of tape supplied with them is a lot thicker than the stuff used on the handle covers and you have to apply it yourself.
I took my time on the first cap and applied lots of tape which in hindsight was way too much and just made putting the cap on nearly impossible. I put much less tape on the second cap and kept it away from the edges unlike the first.
So 50:50 on ease of install and the same with how well they fit, photos below to show fitment.

Overall I’m happy enough because it covers the poor paint job but it’s definitely not a perfect fit.
I would give the handle covers 9/10 and the wing mirror covers 6/10. Not bad for the price paid I suppose ;-)

Hmmm. Hydro-dipping the originals maybe the way forward then. Not that expensive to do and at least fit will be standard. Handles look good.

Only my experience and someone with a shed-load of patience and skill might be able to get the wing mirrors perfect, but I certainly couldn’t. I’d definitely recommend the handle covers anyway.
