Title: Mk3 door handles on a Mk2
Post by: GTIRacer on 19 October 2006, 18:25

Hi all

In this months performance vw there is a Mk2 golg with Mk3 door handles on just wondering how easy they would be to fit?
also i saw a Mk2 golf today with a g60 rear bumper on and the rest was a big bumper kit i thought it looked prety good and was thinking about putting 1 on mine what is everyone elses opinion on this?

Thanks

I didn't think there was such a thing as a G60 rear bumper  :huh:
If they were proper mk3 handles then I would expect them to be very very difficult to fit, most people buy the chinese handles that look similar, I got some myself but didn't like them in the end and went back to original mk2 ones.

As J_S said, the Mk 3 style handles are probably the Chinese manufactured ones which I think Mr Rabbity imports (Ebay).
Apparently they are still making the Mk2 Jetta there and have put the Mk3 style handles on it to make it look newer than a 23 year old model!!!
Shame they still don't make the Golf eh?!
