Thumbs up

I thought about de locking the front doors on my01 UK300. Can it just be a case of replacing the front handles with rear ones. If so how easy is this to do?

Thanks
Steven

Cool

I removed the locking rod that goes between the door lock and the barrel and got some self adhesive fake brushed aluminium and stuck it over the lock and put it back in the handle. Looks good and is way cheaper than buying new handles

Have you got any photos of what it looks like?

Cheers

Thanks for the phots David.
I'm not sure what this would look on colour coded handles. Is this a problem for the MOT? I heard that for the MOT they require a mechanical way of entering the car rather than electrical.
