**SimonP** · 12-12-2003 22:36

Nice, they are Vectra door handles. I wanna put them in my cabrio when I can be ar5ed.

Look very nice.

**LEE69** · 12-12-2003 23:02

Certainly brightens up the interior.

Are they a straight swap or are some alterations required?

**LEE69** · 13-12-2003 13:15

You have to file/cut a tiny bit of the black mounting plate for the new chrome handle to sit properly.

**turbo matt** · 13-12-2003 13:33

hum might have to get a set of them

**LEE69** · 13-12-2003 13:52

Part Numbers: 9134967 and 9134968

**turbo matt** · 13-12-2003 14:07

how much are they lee?

**LEE69** · 13-12-2003 15:09

Seems to depend where you get them lmao
I paid £8 each for mine ages ago, but recently heard there £12 each.
Phone a couple of dealers and ask m8.

**Steve T** · 13-12-2003 15:25

its fairly easy to do. and well worth it IMHO

Its another on of the uder £25 Quid jobbies!

**Drizz** · 14-12-2003 21:35

I put them in the 200ts and in my cabriolet. Simply knock the pin out of both so the actual handles are loose from the base plates and swap over replacing the pin. So the chrome ones end up on the astra base plates. 10 min job max once handles are out of car

**adamSRi** · 16-12-2003 12:25

noice.

they come standard on mine

OllyHewitt · 16-12-2003 12:30

Scrappy hunting time!

**137699** · 18-12-2003 15:03

Just got the call from Vaux in basingstoke to say that mine have arrived - £21 inc vat - so about average I think.

Nice job for the weekend...!

**137699** · 18-12-2003 15:05

**Steve T** · 18-12-2003 16:05

Mine were £15 the pair coz he deceided to give me trade discount for some reason!?!?

**JamesAhrens** · 19-12-2003 21:08

MMM that looks like a good cheap mod, ill add it to the list.

**turbo matt** · 21-12-2003 02:49

**Bruce Laver** · 22-12-2003 10:28

I did mine a year or so ago....

Did four on mine being a 5 door! look really nice and make it a lot easier to see the handles in the dark!

A good mod.

**eurostyler** · 02-03-2004 16:44

Lookls like a cheap mod to do. What would this mod entail Lee? I've seen that you've fitted these in your car. Will I need to take the door cards out or will it be easier to do than that?

Cheers...

**LEE69** · 02-03-2004 16:58

yes door cards of and replace vectra one to astra one.easy as that.
I had to file/cut a tiny bit of plastic off to get the veccy handle to sit right.

**LEE69** · 02-03-2004 16:59

.....

**SimonP** · 02-03-2004 17:11

Reckon they look great! Gotta get round to doing mine at some point!

**selblock** · 02-03-2004 18:05
