Re: [ASC McLaren ] Door Handles and Locks

All the cars appear to have black (not grey) door handled but I
can't quite exactly be 100% sure by the pictures since the grey is
so close to black.

Problem is, I went looking through all the 85-86 coupes and its
about half and half for chrome vs black lock cylinders.

As far as the interior PW bezels even Sandy has said that they are
to be black but all sorts of mistakes got through.

I think that the outer locks may have had the same problem. All
stemming from the fact that these cars being ordered as GSs but
built to RS specs. The assembly line guys probably weren't sure
what to do.

However, if the intention was for them to be black, I can either
paint them or install a NOS black topped set I have.

I know it says black but the book I have was lat 1984 and maybe had
carryover info.
