As it seems everyone does, I have got the bug for some nice Leven bits for my Chim. It's too far for me to go to their place so I was going to order over the net, but can't decide on the best finish to go for on the handbrake. What do you all think and any pics would be appreciated.

Nah, polished looks overdone. Understated is the way to go (see my profile )

I prefer the toned down finish (anodised I think they call it??).

Also, just the other day, I was reading an article on the internet that mentioned the guys with the highly polished finish where most probably closet homosexuals.

Thanks gentlemen (and lady) so thats a 50/50 split then on anodised or polished and there are other finishes as well.
Looks like I am going to have to try and get over there after all and look at all the options.
I think I'll wait for some good weather again and it will be a good excuse for a 100 plus mile round trip

I have the less shiny ones on my Chim, which I love.

That said, whichever finish you go for, it's bound to look better than the standard plastic tack...

preferred the non-shiny. Standard anodised? Close match to the existing Al trim around dials

Went for the vent trim, stalks and ashtrays also .... just to get rid of the plastic




I can take a better pic if you want to see them close up
