If you get a 'door popper kit' it'll probably include buttons in that.

just make sure you put a blob of silicone over the connections once you have soldered and heatwrapped them to make sure water cant get in from the inside of the mirror, otherwise one frosty morning you wont be getting in!
ebay would be the best bet.
Yeah try eBay as Liiam said, I fitted one to a Focus recently and it came with buttons, wiring, relays, and solenoids to trigger the mechanism/rod.

Just smooth the doors and get a good alarm that has central locking apart from the boot just incase you need to get in the car and the battery goes flat.

yeah, make sure you have an alarm, there is a kid round my end who cant be bothered to wire his up on his corsa and its already been stolen once, he managed to get it back.... with more fuel in it than before they took it.

The aftermarket central locking motors might have enough travel to pop the doors. Since the doors will have no locks or handles then you just leave them unlocked.
But dont expect to get in it on a frosty morning!
