Brilliant Blue Metallic – 896 color

The factory paint in the Brilliant Blue Metallic – 896 shade allows for a uniform appearance of the side bodywork, which is particularly important during post-accident repairs or spot replacement of components. The metallic coating gives the handle an attractive, modern character and blends well with the SUV's body lines. For many users, this is a convenient solution as it eliminates the need for additional painting when matching the existing vehicle color.

The item from the Door handles category is intended for installation in place of the factory handle, which facilitates service work and reduces repair time. The used nature of the product allows for an economical replacement while maintaining the original design specifications.

Use in repairs and restoration
