Default RST interior door handles.

Hi their does anyone know where i can get 2 new interior door handles for my rst, i have tried ford (discontinued), and i have tried local scrappies (no mk 4's), whats the world coming to, just incase you dont't understand what i'm on about, it's the bit you grab hold of on the door card's to pull the door shut, they also house the electric window switch's, any help will be appreciated.

i've been trying for a few months now. mine are battered!. my door card is mint but ruins the look when the handle is tatty.

good luck with your search, would be mega jealous along with others if u got some.

I just did mine mercury grey to match the colour of the car. I was gonna do them stardust silver but changed my mind.

Adam1, those pics were just after they were done. They sunk a bit a few weeks later but im sure that is easily fixed.

yeah, just use a decent 2 pack primer, or make sure they are sanded completely smooth before priming. Other than that leave them for a couple of weeks in their primed state, then rub down...
