Are our door handles a regulation size or specific to our cars ? I've never seen them on any other car before. The little red light comes on when you open the door. I've got them on both my front doors on my Super.

I have seen a number of other Mitsi's with the same door handle surround things. Your one doesn't look like it came out of the factory that colour :)

I'm guessing not. It's a real rough material too, nothing like the door handle itself. The 2 rear doors have the extra bits too, but no lights on them.

Bizzaro ?

Maybe to protect the underside of the handle from scratches... but it looks crap IMO

Brad, you got any picks from further back? I'd like to see what the look like from a few steps back.

With the lights on ? I have a few picks from further back, but with the doors closed, not open.

BTW, you keep quoting jet150 in a few of your posts ?

They say the previous owner carved it himself, from a bigger door handle surround.

Hmmmm interesting Daniel :eek:hmy: Sounds like it ! I personally don't see the point. The light doesn't carry at all & doesn't really serve any purpose other than to look different.

could be just a safety feature for when your door is wide open that no cars drifting around the corner on the wrong side of the road take the door off!!:p

Brad didn't you ask about these a month or so ago? I swear I've seen that photo before...

On a slightly related topic, I finally replaced my front door handles with the new rears I bought a year ago. Looks much cleaner without the locks, and only takes about 15-20mins a door once you've done one.

Trev - I asked in a pictures thread from memory & I don't think anyone replied to it.

Hugh - I've never noticed you've had them on your car before ? Probably too busy ogling your LCD screen in the dash! Have you only got the lights on the front doors too ?
