ok i,m desperate to find some door handles for my lh i,ve tried everywhere in town and the rares site, even ebay and found nothing. they are the ones that go behind the armrests. i thought the hq-wb ones would fit but they are about 8mm too wide and wont fit between the trim and armrest. anyone know where i can get some?

and yet another lil difference ive learnt of, why have they gone to these lengths and not just used the same parts like they did with the running gear?

^, it would seem like a lot of trouble to go to make different size arm rests and handles.....perhaps giving the bigger car that big car feeling with bigger arm rests, or perhaps when the put the LH together which was after the HQ, the armrests just took up too much space, particularly in the back of the car......I know when putting anything of size in across the back seat of the UC that to be able to close the door that even the smaller width of the armrest is a prob.
