Carmine red with black door handles?

[Westbyz80]

My lock date is coming up on the 14th, but the last thing I’m thinking about doing is adding black door handles to my carmine red build (see photos).

What do y’all think? Should I keep the black door handles or just have them red

Yeah I like it. Did the same on my mamba. Ties in with the other black elements.

Thought about doing same with my carmine GTS but wife and I came to same conclusion that we felt it looked nicer in red and that there was enough black in the car already

Looks good with your spec

I'd definitely have the black door handles with your spec. I have them with my mamba Green

100% on the black handles, I'm even adding them on my Gentian, not as immediately obvious but a nice bit of customisation (and in sunlight quite visible) and to match all the other blacked out parts.

For me, I would say they are 100% yes on the Mamba - but only 50/50 on the Carmine.

Red - doesn't look so good in real life IMHO. You could always consider getting them wrapped later on.

Perhaps consider gloss black brake calipers instead as the white doesn't look right at all.

Not for me. I keep thinking about Tesla door handles when I see them.....

I had it on my silver panamera and it looked great. I like how it looks even on the red.

Pretty! Love the look.

Great look with the black/red contrast. I'd order the electronic charge port door with the black tab. I think that will continue the line really nicely and will look even better.

Agree with the wrapping of the handles then if you don't like it you could remove. Gives you more flexibility especially if you are not sure. I wrapped the handles on my CT4 and they came out good.

For what it's worth, my dealer tried to talk me out of this this option, saying that the black really shows fingerprints. Since that's a part of the outside of the car that's constantly being touched, it kind of made sense. But, I still got them along with Neptune Blue, because it looks awesome. Looks great with the Carmine as well.

I plan to do a full wrap in SatinGuard w/ Ceramic coating which I believe will mitigate the fingerprint issues.

On Gentian, Mamba, Cherry or Volcano black handles look brilliant and blend in while giving a nice distinctive touch. On medium / brighter colours it’s a matter of taste but they can “interrupt” a bit the flow of the profile shape…

Agree with @W1NGE the PSCB calipers need to be black not white!

Final one - if you go “GTS look”, maybe keep the exclusive Race Tex instead of red leather?
