I Loewe Old Skool AMG
I've got a whacky idea.
I wanna change my outer doorhandles to colorcoded ones.
Does doorhandles from a 210 E class fit?

I hope they are bolt on?

I think it's better to get factory painted doorhandles than taking of my stock black ones and give em' to the paintshop so the paintshop colors them silver.
I found a wrecked 210 with silver colored doorhandles.

Is it an easy mod?
I guess I need to remove the inner doortrim?
 
Not sure but look on the inside edge of the door for a grommet
There will be a torx screw there behind it.
pull the handle back to release.

Do you want the Pt. No.'s for the handles? I have them written down somewhere. IIRC correctly I fitted CLK door handles to the front and E class to the rear doors on my C43.

Yes Sir, thank you.
Parts numbers are they for silver coded handles?
paintcode 744?

Why did you do clk on the front and e class on the rear?[/QUOTE

Dude wants to have a special Benzito!
As long as both versions of the handles are the same and have the same design, what a hell no prob. Bob!:D


About the doorhandles are there several design versions?
I want the coolest looking doorhandles that fits the AMG!
Also on left side drivers door or was it the passengers door I can't remember now!
I guess I have sniffed tu much of the AMG fumes.
There is the display sensor for remote control, the new doorhandles has to match the original sensor?

Hi,
The pt. no.'s are as follows these numbers i got from "somewhere" on this forum, i ordered mine and Bobbies from these numbers, with no fitting problems.
You will need to add the specific colour code to the pt. no. for your vehicle.

A 208 760 00 70 [####] : rear door handle : £14.11 +VAT
A 210 760 12 70 [####] : front door handle : £12.45 +VAT
A 210 766 03 56 [####] : rear end piece : £5.39 +VAT

Prices are well out of date approx. 2004ish I think.
I did,nt replace the IR parts of the door handle as they are quite expensive and i planned to get them painted.

Hello Andy.
Thanks for the parts numbers.
Are these both #numbers for E 210?
Front handles begins with A210
Rear handles begins with A208
Both handles have the same shape and design?

About the IR what should I do here?
Buy the handles without sensor display?
Won't it come integrated in the one handle?

Can I use my existing IR display from my black handle?

Thanx for your help
 
The IR parts of the handle are separate items, the front and rear handles are made up of two parts each, your black ones could just be painted with an aerosol, you could buy the IR parts colour coded if you wanted but they are expensive, its cheaper to get your existing black items painted.

what abuut if I buy used 210 E-class colorcoded doorhandles with the IR integrated would this vork?
There are several junkyards that sells 210 rustbuckets.
This would be better n cheapa I guess?

Is this the correct design style for these 3 packages:
Classic: Cheap style handles, not recommended
Elegance: Chrome/painted handles, recommended?
Avantgarde: Full colorcoded handles, recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thnx
 
Here you go, you may be interested

thanx buddy.
now I see what Elegance style package looks like.
To bad they are chipped.
I notice that E-class uses 2 IR displays?
I guess there is only 1 on my C43??
I could be wrong?
Can't remember?

Thanx anyway

The W202 also has 2 IR sensors one in each front door end piece.
 
Why did you do clk on the front and e class on the rear?
The 208 had painted handles from day 1 but has no rear handles, when the 210 was facelifted it inherited the painted handles from the 208 but needed new handles for the rear.

Parts normally carry the chassis code of the car they were first intended for and later the car they were updated for.
