Yes, but not Nordic.

This reminds me, I have a load of door handles in the garage, but I don't know which are which (mk1/mk2), any chance you can take a quick picture of one brad?

As my traumatic experience at the weekend taught me....they look very similar but the Mk2 version has a fixed black seal around it and plastic hinge pins, only after fitting it did I find out that the keying for the lock barrel is reversed :evil:

Oooh, I could do with one for the turbo, the handle is fine as is the key barrel but the surround has cracked allowing play in the lock mechanism. It's quite secure but I am going to sort out the alarm switch ( intermittent unless fettled with) and I think a stable lock platform would help somewhat.
I have a tin of spray paint so colour isn't important. I do have a new Mk2 handle which I was going to attempt to use but as said before, the lock surround is ridged and has no grommet visible.

So if no Nordic Blue is available what's the best match? Atlantic blue or black at a guess....what colours you got people?

Spare me from the trauma of a Nightfire Red Mk2 door handle :oops:

I shall have a look today and see what I have got. They are easily painted, though.

Yes as Brad says easily painted with a rattle can from Halfords... be a shame not to. I would suggest any other blue colour as a base, although a good finish over any colour should be easily achievable.

Nordic Blue eh? Have we seen pics of this car?

I did a piece on door handles here:
http://www.rover800.info/forum/viewtopi ... =12&t=4829

My conclusion was that Mk1 handles are flat around the lock barrel hole, Mk2 have a raised lip. Also, as mentioned above, the cutouts for the lock on the inside face the opposite direction

'90 827 Si Fastback

+ others.

If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

Not yet, the shame of a red door handle you know.....or that could be my excuse until I figure out how to post pics here!

Brad, you are funny.

I knew that would bring that up again.... much thinking but little (actually, no) action. Much as it tugs at the heart strings you know I have difficulty keeping two cars in my plans at the mo, let alone three :(

By the way, I believe it WAS grey, after all, but still extremely attractive, nevertheless! My bad, as they say in linguistically encoded American sitcoms :oops:
