What do you think of these?

I want to go euro look with my car and just wondering if people think it's a good idea to go with these to smooth them.

Would there be any other way of going about it? Maybe smaller and flush fit handles?

audi handles are big on the vw scene and look good aswell. dont know about the mechanism but it might be worth looking in to. solinoids(sp) are good but a bugger when they start playing up and you cant get in your car lol

I can think of a few better ways to spend the money.

and 100% against the law as well

Well that's just rained on my parade.

What about flush fit door handles?

you can still do it they can only ask for you to get it fixed,
just have some spare doors with handles
or use audi or fiat barchetta which are cool

[maxfield]

Will look into other handles

[maxfield]

The fiat ones looks cool smooth the chrome strip and paint it and you've got a nice smooth look

[dips346]

colour code it and it will look flush
the way it works is a treat as you press the button and then the handle comes out

[maxfield]

Sounds sweet don't suppose ya fancy pm'in me a price to do it would you

[dips346]

i will do some research the hardest bits trying to get the doors so you can cut the section out and weld them in place

[maxfield]

With my plans this car will cost a fortune

why?

[oldroydsr4]

I believe you can have the passenger door smoothed.

I think its safety thing.

[tristan325]

fiat barchetta which are cool

Now that is an excellent suggestion and would be very unique.

Is this a bad time to mention a lad from Newcastle had them on a micra?

I thought solenoids were legal as long as you had a method of manual entry, such as a button under the wing mirrors?

Max, don't Barry your car!!!

TBH flushed handles will improve airflow over the doors, reduced vortex and eddying.

But the car is a box to begin with!!!!

Stuff aerodynamics!

Can't see it improving anything over the top speed it will only be a 4pot!

Purely for looks

[Giggz]

I reckon something along the lines of the Audi door handle look is cool. Its a nice smoothed look. Very 'euro look'.

What about TVRs?

Was thinking that too

because the police know where the tvr lock is
i done it for a customer before and was told that by a copper..

[jon_pure_british]

whats wrong with the original handles?

[maxfield]

Nothing but going for proper euro look so smoothed is the way to go

TVR's open with a button under the wing mirror, most people who get rid of door hide the buttons which make the solonoids (sp) work and some program them to work with alarm key fobs

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Seems very convoltued just to open a door. Colour co-ordinate the handles, save a lot of hassle and expense.

LOL.

Can just imagine the police training school timetable:

9AM: Restraining Suspects.
10AM: Fingerprints
11AM: Opening TVRs.

:D

[Car-Nut]

I was just gonna mention TVRs had a Tuscan a couple of years back and the passenger door used to pop open when doing over 100mph .......

Used to upset the wife a bit dont know why my door was fine

Thats TVRs though loads of electrical faults

Now seen the light.....

[chinchilla]

solinoids(sp) are good but a bugger when they start playing up and you cant get in your car lol

thata what i thought

Well some dude who works at my dads put door poppers on his sons nova, had the buttons under the mirrors and had an emergency release for the drivers door under the drivers arch..

wouldnt that make it legal aswell?

[dimebag_from_hell]

I think flushed foor handles are gay, full stop! I really dont see why someone would do it, it really is a bit of a joke

To keep the car looking smooth for a good euro look

Don't you see the irony of you saying the red 318is on Pistonheads is council? After you get your E30 it won't be long before it's on BarryBoys.
Edited to say my intention was not to have a go at you, as I know you're 16/17. Subtle standard cars, BMW parts, will get the right sort of attention rather than council/Barry mods. Less is more as the saying goes.
