Door Handles

[OwainLewis]

My Nova will be going in for its respray soon, so I want to get all external mods done before hand so they can all be colour coded.

I dont like the standard door handles on a Mk1 Nova at all so can anyone give me some ideas on what I could do instead.

Cheers.

Depending on what else you have done to it, Audi handles could look the absolute canines knackers on it.

Similair story with Cavvy handles.

in Total Vauxhall theres an advert for a place that sells Audi door handle kits. they consist of the handles in a weld in plate. all you have to do then is link up the mechanisms... and TADAA.. bobs your uncle and fannys your aunt. (this is a favourite mod with the veedub boys.) still look s**t hot though. i think the kit costs about 180sheets.

[Ross Clarke]

I think its Venom motorsport that do them kits. VW mod boys that have now go the Vauxhall bug.

lmao just go get 4 audi cars for £180

[PhilM]

that £180 is for a pair of handles btw....

[OwainLewis]

I dont want to be spendin that much!!!! More like £30 at the most!!!

[adamSRi]

early astra mk3 handles/cav look good smooth and colour coded.
joey (gander) has this done on his mk2 and looks much nicer.

[Pete_58]

yes £180 is a fair bit to pay, but what are the chances of findin a A3/A4 in a scrap yard?! if you only wanna spend bout 30 quid, get yourself down the local scrappy and get yourself some cav/astra door handles. you could get the rears if you want some de-lockin.

[PhilM]

the ones they advertise for £180 a pair arent a3 ones - they are the ones on the audi 80( i think) etc etc and are common as...

Erm
its older audis....

Went down yard yesterday- 4 pairs of audi rear handles (rear ones dont have a key hole ) in the yard- £15 per door (thats for the whole door btw)....kind of takes the piss out of venom motorsports 'kit'

Need a good bodyshop to put them in BTW.
I was going to (my m8 has them on his nova and they look the ******) but when it came to it i just couldnt be assed.

Cav handles on the nova look shite imho

[OwainLewis]

Do old Audi's have the same style of handle as the newer A3/4's etc then????

[PhilM]

no

[Freak]

Newer A4s have slightly different ones...

[OwainLewis]

Are the old ones nice enough tho???

[KiLm3R]

Ummm,

I am going to fix in my Astra Mk2 doors, the OPEL Omega (not the new model, the one before this version) door handles.

I will post a few pictures as soon as I got them installed.

Alex.

[whitie]

im a dub boi
new A4 style handels r 149 quid
from venom now, mymate just got a set for his mk2 16v

[Freak]

still a rip off

[OwainLewis]

How much would I be looking at for 2 delocked audi handles from an older car???? Will these still look good, better than standard nova ones??

How big a job is it to fit these handles??

Cheers

[Freak]

If you get yer ass to a scrappy round here it will cost you £30 for the pair of doors.

To get them in you have to cut a big chunk of the door skin out and weld the handles and surrounding chunk in.

A decent bodyshop wouldnt have any probs.

Ive got a pic somewhere - ill find it

[OwainLewis]

What car are the handles in your pic off???
