Its not just a case of banging them on! Its not coloured bulbs or a de-cat you can just swap over. Corsa door handles are recessed and therefore a car with smoothed doors will will have had a plate welded over this recess and filler over the top. Not sure how legal it is - ive seen a few Bs de handled........

I believe the MOT states that you have to have one door handle for means of safety to get in, fire etc

mines failed last week for having no handles, had to buy two doors from scrappy, although i showed him that it can be opened from both outside and inside with the same means of control i reckon it is just down to the place u take it

well to be honest...if your stuck in your car whats the chances of them:
a) looking for a button
b) finding the button
think they'd just rip the door off and mangle your car
