Hey all. I'm consedering getting Astra G (Why is it G when its only mk4??) door handles as they look sweet when fully painted and fitting them to my Nova. Can it be done? Has anyone done this before? Has anyone got a picture? Also at the same time I'm going to fit central locking and electric windows. I'm not bothered about that as it seems stright forward enough (I got a guide) but what I'm not too sure about is will the central locking from the Nova still work with the Astra handles. Also would I be better off using the Astra locks (I already have 2 different keys for the car and I'm going flushing the boot which will get rid of one of them so I don't mind having 1 key for the doors and 1 for the ignition)? Maybe it might be possible to swap the ignition barrels aswell? Finally, if I do use the Astra locks can I fit the remote central locking unit to my car?

Thanks for the replies.

There the ones, but as thats a left hand drive car the right hand door is missing the key lock. Anyone got a picture of them on a Nova? the rest of my questions still stand. Please help.

I cant see why the central locking wouldnt work, but if not just use a universal kit. Using the lock barrels from the astra will be very difficult, as the fittings are all different. U could probably custom fit them tho, but why not use back door handles from the astra, and do away with the door locks altogether. Just get an alarm that controls the cetral locking :D But then u might want to keep the tailgate lock incase the alarm doesnt work one day :!:
