Just wondering what everyone does when there handles end up cracked and .. worn? I cant afford to buy a new handle for 30 pound each lol. On my old car you could get covers that stick over the handle.

Ive seen a few that have painted handles.. Like that really nice purple or lilac brava owned by helz i think?

Yeah those handles are off a Fiat Marea. Get a set of them and either spray them black or colour code.

You can even put 147 metal handles on but it's a bit more work.

found complete set brand new on internet for less than £50.00 but there just plain,none of that cheap rubber coating and you can spray any colour before fitting,came with all fittings and they look good on my Brava.

You can use Marea handles if you want to paint them. Theyre solid plastic although iirc, they do need some modification to fit properly.

Bravo/Brava handles are both rubber and they do perish. I bought a set of OEM quality handles on ebay recently for £15 each. Not fit them yet but they are as good quality as the originals.

purchased complete set on eBay for less than £50,used the trusty Hanes manual and after much swearing and cutting fingers they look great,fitted over a year now and going great.

you can fit new Fiat 500 door handles, I made a guide a long time ago;

The Marea Handles as Bushboy said are a direct fit on the front doors. No modifications are needed.
