I like it. And while we're at it with plastic caps here...I did not like looking at that little hole in the drivers outside door handle every time I got out of the car... you know, you often look back at your car by habit. You know, the little hole for the "emergency key" So I save everything, and I found this little tiny grey plastic grommet that just fits that hole (I forget the width size). You can still pop it out with your fingernail if necessary. But I thought it is a better look for the handle...and a thief's first impulse about gaining quick easy entry to the vehicle is neutralized.

 

Oh great...now that little hole is going to bother me every time I look at my car!

 

additionally, the keyless entry handle covers have no hole and you pop off the whole cover with the keyblade from the bottom if you need to manually release the lock.

 

Yes that might be a better mod...if I understand the handle cover itself is replaced (in the mfg color code)?

 

Makes sense...keeps the weather out of something that's hardly ever used.

 

where have you seen this part available?

 

I got it from iPD USA. They said maybe I ordered the wrong one, maybe for another model year. But their site is pretty good for entering your model year, and it only shows you parts for it. Near as I can tell, C30's came with either the plastic cap, or a leatherette bag.

 

Yeah IPD is a pretty good store. I've bought a few things from them. Decent quality, decent price, and friendly advice if you have to call them.

 

Volvo PN is 39998270 and 39998271 for both sides, they are different from left to right side.
