Which will only fit if you either replace the door locks or de lock the doors.

The pre-facelift locks sit flush to the outer skin of the door. The facelift locks poke out about 5mm. When you fit Vectra handles to a pre-facelift you are left with a hole with a lock in it which lets water into the door. Trust me, I'm a doctor, plus we had this problem with a mates car.

They don't even smooth out the ruffles in them either. It's hardly even worth paying the extra for primered parts from Vauxhall
