De-locking Doors

[Hum@nzee]

someone suggested I try and source a set of rear door handles to replace the front ones. they do look the same but are they exactly? anyone done this (sorry if you have - I didn't check the threads first!)

Actually I'm from Wolverhampton.

in fast they come up with different part numbers for front/rear

front part number - 80606-22U14-

rear part number - 82606-0V007-

Why exactly did they suggest that?

[Terminal]

they'll be different front and rear as the fronts have the hole for the lock

De-locking is quite a common mod on cars in Britain - it removes a degree of temptation from dumb kids with screwdrivers and so on. My drivers door handle has a nick in it where someone obviously had a quick go at it (before I owned it) so I was considering replacing it as part of the exterior tidy-up job. They guy I was discussing it with suggested getting rears for the front as an easy way of de-locking at the same time. Sad that you have to think about these things but that's the way things are unfortunately. I am currently selling my old car - a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Ltd SE - just got it ready to sell, spotless, serviced etc - woke up to find some w***** had broke in and pinched the stereo - taking half the bloody dash with it! I would rather they had come to the door and asked for the stereo - it would have been less painfull to just hand the thing over! (Then I would have chased him in the jeep and run him over ) Anyway that's why I asked the question - so do we think they will fit and blank off the locks?

cheers

hmm

why not just shave the door handles!

mmm, that would be crazy in a stagea!!

Imagine shaving the door handles and welding the rear doors up making it a coupe!

Yeah ive seen a cefiro like that, looked odd. i think a stagea would look like a sedan delivery, seen it done with an EH. Panelvan with low roof and windows.

now if you used r33 2door doors and did some crazy fabrication work... would look better than the small stag doors.

btw i think it would be a neat idea deleting the locks - til your remote lock battery fails...
