I installed some "modern" style door handles.
Hopefully this will end the never ending breaking handles. :) I really like the feel/look of these. I'm impressed, not bad for $38.
Front <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/80494/p2200691.jpg"> Rear <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/80494/p2200692.jpg"> Opens like butter! LOL<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/80494/p2200693.jpg"> <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/80494/p2200694.jpg"> They took some modding, but nothing major. I had to shave the front linkage down (width wise) and for the rears, just slipped the old linkage in the new place, a little grinding to fit. Next I'm thinking of painting them to match the body. Anyone have pics of any quats with no side mouldings, or painted ones? Thanks |
What car are they off of and is that $38 for the whole set? Looks great by the way!

Yep, nice. I tested fitted those before Burien last yr, but uninstalled them due to
the way the rear mounts pivotted inside the door.
Hopefully you got a slighty different design. But damn, don't they feel nice when you open them. (Also the other concern was my daughter pulling on them oddly & damaging the door/paint, but you don't have to worry about yours opening doors for a few more yrs.) You still got my email from a few days ago? Get on MSN sometime also. You coming to Burien this yr?<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiclubnw.org/calendar.htm">Audi Expo 2006 - June 24th</a></li></ul> |
They have a little spring on the rear hinge and a rubber gasket. Paint would be fine.

Nice! Let us know how they hold up.
