Porsche door handles
Ive seen the chrome porsche door handles on a few mk1's and mk2's over the years and ive always liked the look of them. What model do they come from and are they a direct replacement or do you have to make modifications for them to fit?
Also, how much do they sell for?

I usually look for 944 Porsche script handles but they are quite expensive. Anywhere from 50-200 quid a pair last time I looked? Not too sure how much of a hassle they are to fit.

Hi, we have 944 scripted handles on our car and they are a direct fit, all i had to do was change the "v" shaped metal thing on the locking mechanism from the porsche bit to one from a stock handle so it catches the lock inside the door.

Thanks for the replies. I knew nothing about them before, it's a great help. I take it that scripted means that they are the ones which have Porsche engraved in them? Are they rare? Ive had a quick look on eBay and there ain't any. :-(

How do you fit them? Do you have to change the barrels would they stick out too much?

Yes you will use your barrels and the pawls that screw into then from your handles if the Porsche are different length. The "V" fingers.
