I would like to know if is possible and easy to change the door exterior handles of a 850 (grey) into the handles of a S70 (body color).

Thanks in advance.

    I've heard of it being done without to much trouble. Not sure exactly what is involved or how much overlap there is with the S70 handles, but from memory (of our old 850), seems that there is more of the handle on the S70 that actually attaches to the door. Therefore the new handles should cover up any area of paint that might be exposed from the transfer. Go for it and post how it went!
