will v70 door handles fit on a 850?

will v70 door handles fit on a 850? Fancy going down the colour coded look of the v70 door handles not fussed over the lock working as i got remote locking and i can alwasy get in through the boot(I dont have dead locks if that makes a diffrence..
I am sure someone said it was pretty easy but whats actually involved in doing the swap,I know it can be done as seen a few 850 with later door handles on them.

I have them on mine, bit of a pig to fit and the lock is completely different on 850 to v70 do key won't fit but I use the remote and use the boot lock for central locking if something goes wrong!!! I paid £20 for the set off a member and got them sprayed at work.

I got two passenger side handles so i could have the drivers side delocked allways get in through the boot if get a flat battery lol

I managed to modify the lock on mine to fit the 850 door lock. Fitting a V70 door lock should work if you want the key.

thats what i was thinking of doing as well,I know where i can get handles cheaply and a extra passenger side one so i can do away with drivers door key lock..
just then got to get them painted once i get them(not getting them till end of april as the person isnt breaking the car till then(just a standard boggo v70 not a t5/v70r) and i have already sorced a extra handle for drivers door..

why not paint the 850 door handles and keep your locks.............it's not hard just use the right paints

[james]

yes these fit you just have to file a few millimeters off the v70 lock stem on drivers door as its longer than the 850 version
