Chrome handles on the Astra Mk3

[eurostyler]

I think you mentioned they were from a Vectra C. Is this correct or doesit not matter which model Vectra they come from?

Mine are done now and they look the biz - though be careful when fitting the "chrome" handles, as they're actually just chromed brittle plastic, and when I was trying to fit the loop onto the rod, I managed to snap one, though VX in Basingstoke changed it for free....

I found the best way to change them was to use a drill as a drift - knock out the holding pin on both the plastic originals and the vectra chrome one's then just swap the handles - I think you can modify the vectra backing plate to fit, but doing it the other way, if you balls it up you can always take the parts back to vaux for replacement (as I did). If you modify the backing plate, there's no taking them back!

I think someone on another site did a "how do I" on how to fit these handles, but I think I must have deleted the link I had to it - someone else may know of it...
