dubbers 0 Posted March 20, 2013 Hi,i fancied the exact same handle conversion in my Corrado & last year searched absolutley everywhere for a complete pair of modified doors with no success. Upon doing so i found an Audi A3 handle conversion kit for sale at venom motorsports,thinking happy days i was told that although still advertised they were no longer available. I urged if not begged them to get me the kit & when they came back to me was told that the guy who manufactured them has broken his tooling & would not been doing anymore. It was at this point that i decided to bite off more than i could or should have chewed.. i picked up a pair of delocked rear doors from an Audi breakers & took them along with the car to a bodyshop to be chopped out & welded into the doors. They did 1 as a test & 8 hours later had it welded in & working for me then to decide that i didn't like the look of it. It seemed to sit too low although the suage line on the door governed where it had to sit. They also had to construct & weld a nut & bolt mechanism to actually strike against the lever inside the door. It seemed to have a glitchy feel when pulling on the handle although none of the rubber seals or glass was fitted which wouldn't have helped. Because of this i decided not to proceed with the other door & then had to source a replacement door .. not my best move in hindsight :) The moral of the story & the whole point in writing to you is to point out & hopefully make you aware of & avoid potential poor mods. Cheers & good luck with your search Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60 CS 0 Posted April 10, 2013 The newer audi handles are a pita because you have to fabricate the mechanism, I fitted them to my Mk2 Golf whereas the earlier type pictured above are very easy and require no modding If you decide you want an early set as pictured above i have a pair still in a section of the door skin so a good body shop will have no problem cutting down to size swaging and then welding in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonejag 10 Posted April 17, 2013 I know JMC does them with the new handles, and some good reviews. The ones on his G60 look great, anyway ;) link to profile Might be worth taking a deep breath and having a word with your bank manager first though - good work costs.
