Default Replacing Blue interior handles with Black ones

I want to replace the tacky blue interior door handles in my Nogaro S4 with black ones. Does anyone know if this is an easy DIY job, or the part numbers for these handles. I'd also like to see some pictures to see what the finished product looks like.

Default I'm having a hard time picturing what handles you're talking about. How can your door handles be

nogaro??? Shouldn't your interior be black? Shouldn't all the other interior trim, including the door handle surround, be black also?

Shouldn't the door handle itself be chrome?

Im talking about the plastic piece that surrounds the window switches and mirror adjustment. its the piece youpull towards yourself when closing the door.

Default Wow, I've never seen a Nogaro owner describe the interior as "tacky" before.

The Sport interior gets the most positive complements of the entier car. Everyone who sees it for the first time always asks if it's a custom interior.

I'd have to agree....I think the door handles are tacky, as well. The seats are great, though.
