Can uPVC window handles be changed?

Is it possible to swap our window handles for new ones? They're standard uPVC windows that are only a few years old but the handles aren't to our taste.

"Yes they are very straight forward to change you have to undo the two screws and then when your putting the new handle on make sure the spindles are the same size. I recommend getting a handle with the multi pack of spindles so this saves you having to cut the spindle to size"
