might be a bit cheaper then!

it's a LOT of work to do it properly, you see... most of the money is the welding.

as a guide, the further away from London you are, the cheaper it gets!

[eltis]

ai a nah its a lot of work like.... then the cost of materials........ then labour........ lolol think i might have to move to scrabster (top of scotland) lolol

no seriously i want them done.......... money aint really an object ill just have 2 save if needby.

just want a really really gud job done..........

DaN!

[Daz_Kez]

My Mate got his done for somewhere near £500 i think,

Yer your looking in the region babs said...

[eltis]

thanks for the reply`s any 1 had it done in the northeast? and how much it cost?

[Matty_Gti]

I had this done on my old 206 (shh), it can be surprisingly expensive especially if you want an amasing job, theres a lot of work involved.

First of all do you have remote central locking? because if not then you will need this fitting.

Then they have to attach soleniods which will enable your doors to be 'popped' open and the wiring needs to be sorted, you will need a button put in on both sides somewhere, to open the doors, mine was drilled and put through the bottom of my wing mirrors, or you can have it put onto an aftermarket alarm system. the door handle holes then need to be welded up and smoothed over and then painted up, basically if you want a really good job you will need pretty much both sides of the car painted so it blends right.

p.s. get good quality poppers as both of mine failed and i had to call the rac to get into my car then take it to get new solenoids fitted.

I also had problems with my doors not opening enough when i popped them, if this happens then you have to fit some sort of rubber or something which will pop the door open enough to allow you to get your fingers in and open the door.

I'd PM Mitch21 on here mate, he lives in Newcastle and is a Unit 21 member!!

If he does'nt know of a decent place up your way nobody will!!

[Rich]

tbh it's a lot of effort for something that doesn't really suit the loop that greatly.

the handles break the doors up nicely.

how about gloss black handles with the space behind filled in ?

practicality with a hint of subtle modification.

thankyou paul.....

rich have you got any pics?

i duno what it is i just think that all smoothed doors just luk lush and suit allll cars..

i want a post off Mitch21 (fingers crossed he might even have good news )

[Rich]

I have no pics.

I just see these things.

I'm psychic or psycho, depends how you look at it.

[EaRNi!]

lol, i dont think it would look too bad but as everyone has said, its a lot of messing about for a tiny mod that will probably just cause you problems

[Rich]

unless you go with my idea.

[EaRNi!]

yup. different and cheaper thats the way forward

[paul.ekc]

I've seen Rich's idea done on a Lupo and it looks cool BUT how easy is it to actually use the handles??

[Rich]

it's actually easy.

[Adam]

I've seen that mod on a Polo and an Ibiza aswell and it looked really good, it kinda makes you like twice at the handle as at first glance it looks different, but not completely different.

that looks cool! but is it easy to use the handles?

[Adam]

Apparently it is, i suppose if you've got long finger nails it might be a bit tricky

thankyou adam,

now i see what you mean rich does look ok, but if i was goin to get that done i might aswel just get rid of the handles all togather.

DaN!

[Rich]

you mean together ?

the main difference is cost and complete deletion of the handles and the problems that will ensue.

yeah am a crap speller!!!

think i will just leave it for the time being.........

yer £500 around that, also you have to think about extras like the door poppers,central locking, soleniods etc,

and to be honest mate if you want other things smoothed off on the sides imo its best to get them done all at the same time as if you smooth the handles you will be respraying 40-60% of the door and more than likey fade into the rear 1/4's just depending.

imo smooth handles only seem to work if the side is smooth i.e the side blinkers, bump strips and so on or you dont seem to noticed the handles are gone if other things draw your eyes away from where they where.

also like said the problems you can and may have, better mod would be to swap with custom handles like the audi ones on the market. they also have welding plates to make the job better.
