 |
|
Im thinking of replacing the inside metal door handles and arm rests with ones from out of a Camira/old Commonwhore(Like Mooches arm rests). Has anyone done this or had any similar/better ideas, as I recon it would look a lot better and be not as boring as the standard bits. Im gonna have to paint them black with vinyl paint though cause I doubt I could find arm rests in green.
Cheers. |

im looking into putting the rear armrests out of a 2000 holden vectra into the door trims of my coupe- they combine an armrest, door handle, electric window switch and tweeter mount all in one, just gotta have a fiddle with the linkages first. just an idea
p.s the car is copping electric windows, plus central locking so that would take care of the 'lock/unlock' part of the original gem inner door handle |
