i bought a lockless passenger side vectra CC handle, a driver side CC vectra handle, had a deadlock made for my key, backing plates and painted for £45.

then i chipped the bloody paint on both in the same place installing them and had to touch up pen them, they still look good though:D, you cant notice the touch up when they are on the car.

I dont really like the look of the rear handles though, thats why i went for a lockless front passenger handle, the litle smoothed lock area looks really good i think

The haynes max power corsa manual shows you how to do it with pics and everything, good book

the lock that u have in ur standard door handles will get in the way of the new dorr handles, so u have to take the lock out of the backin plate, to do this u need to drill a rivit out then they come out easy. just have t ohave remote central locking

"drill a rivit out on the backin plate to take the lock out"

i dont understand what u mean mate?
to get the original lock out u mean?
i never use my deadlocks anyway? and hopefully will get a cat1 alarm so it will be ok without deadlocks right?

i think the last months issue of total vauxhall showed how to delock or sumting like dat??

i sprayed the original handles on my car, but i did a really SHITE rushed job, still looked wicked but didnt last long, about 2-3 months and it started peeling!!!!cunt!!!

i will give them a proper paint job if i get them but will they last???

i put rear door handles on mine.

Trouble is the actual door handles only cost about £6 for the pair. but if your gonna go for rear handles you'll need to buy the bracket to go behind them (front door handle brackets wont fit), i think it works out at around £55 in total.

I got mine sprayed up by a pro.

Worth it in the end, does look nice.
