Mk4 Polo ones are the same as Ibiza ones.....

if you want to de-lock them whilst you're at it, you need 5-door Mk4 Polo rear ones

Are they really the same...how cheap are VAG!!

The Mk4 Polo Handles fit a Mk2 Ibiza??

Has anyone done this, is it a hard job to swap them (delocking them bl8ntly)

Thanks

GREG

so mk4 rear handles are a straight swap... and obviously it will have the de-locked look?... thats intresting infomation ive just leant off D:

 

[andyj]

90% sure they fit

 

[shiller1984]

yeah they fit thats what i've used on my cordoba - straight swap 1 screw just inside the door shut

Yeah I fitted Polo rears to my old Cordy, they fit fine!

There was a set of colour coded handles on eBay the other day, they went for a shocking £5!

£16.45 + vat each form your local vw dealer

you won't be able to buy colour coded ones only black or primered ones

or £38.65 if you can be arsed to work out VAT, I just looked at my invoice

Be cheaper from a scrappies but I was too lazy

Note, it doesn't matter if they're off a classic or not, handles off all MK4/5 Polos and MK3 Golfs fit. I think the Golf one might need adjusting a bit but the Polo ones look better.

Trouble is I dont usually know what the hells what.

or rear ones off a 5dr

Sorry to dig this one up from the depths but thats what you get for searching!

Is there any reason i shouldn't just take my existing handles off (all 4 of them!), prep them and spray them?

Obvioulsy other than the fact my car wouldnt have any locks on it for the duration of the exercise - how long would the paint/lacquer take to go off? - I might just do the back door handles that i've already got on there and source new delocked ones for the front.

i got 2 rear mk4 polo ones off of ebay for £9 delivered for my old mk2. which was good, fitted perfectly, just didnt have barrels.

The sun was shining on these when i took them so they look a bit poorer than they looked in the flesh, took about a days work, doing it slowly..

washing them
prepping them
wet & dry paper
primer
rub down
primer
coat one
rub out any imperfections
coat 2..
coat 3..
lacquer for a few stages

 

[Kai_1600]

Looks wicked, i'll have a bash on the back doors as soon i can lay my hands on some primer, paint and lacquer

They're MK3 Golf ones - they're squarer at the edges.

Did they go straight on? I know on the MK3 Golf MK4 Polo handles need work to fit, so its strange if they fit straight onto an Ibiza!

 

[gregclarks]

I eventually sourced some rear door handles from a year 2000 polo - they came colour coded bright yellow, no locks, exactly the same shape as the standard ibiza ones, not square golf ones as above. they fitted on perfectly, they are exactly the same and now i have them in kiwi, they look great! Good mod for £30
