That's interesting - I bought new lower handle shells to match the wood trims I bought for mine. I could only get 3 out of 4 as they had no stock for the driver's door. The finish, which I presume is as old as the car as it's doubtful they made newer stocks post-production ending, isn't great and 2 are marked already despite me only doing about 4k miles since they were fitted!
I think the finish goes soft with age?
I went as far as talking to an interior trimmer who said he could refinish them, but wouldn't be surprised if they looked rubbish again after 6 months. In retrospect that's probably no worse than buying new, but would've been cheaper! Don't think he got as far as quoting me but got the impression it wouldn't be ridiculous.
Defo interested in the refinishing paint if they can do it
