   if they are the same as 106's, you need to drill out 2 rivets

   why would you want them black anyway? would look like a poverty spec saxo with a vt kit

   Because i've seen a nice yellow 106 gti around Aylesbury that has gloss black handles and thought they looked alright, thought i'd try it on a mango saxo

    I don't really like carbon wrapped things, only carbon wrapped thing i have is the back of my iphone because i thought it looked better than scratches...i prefer gloss black over carbon wrapping..
