Door handles 3dr/5dr

Post by **filthyjohn** » 06 Feb 2008 03:52 pm

Are the door handles the same on a 3 and a 5 door model? I've just had a look at changing one but they look as if they're slightly different. If they are, has anyone got a spare 3dr driver's side one?

Cheers,
John.

Adam put rear 5dr ones in his car to de lock it, so I'm guessing they arn't that different!

With the help of thieving scumbags with screwdrivers.

Cheers Chris, I'll give it another go tomorrow. The hard part will be repairing the bent steel above and below the handle. I will actually murder the next skiprat that tries it on with one of my cars. And I'll make it look like a lambrini-fuelled clifftop misadventure too.

Nah, this is from the same incident that damaged my steering lock. If it had been another attack I'd be enforcing a curfew on the estate with violent beatings for anyone found wearing a tracksuit after neighbours has finished.

John...satisfying as a mercy-twatting might be, I think you need to hire a sniper. This level of disrespect for another man's automobile requires a professional solution.

As far as I'm aware, the door handles are all the same in terms of 'footprint'.

cheers
