Dave 54 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I've got a set of v70 handles in silver if interested. LMK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownTurboBrick Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 The door mouldings will probably fit, but I know for a fact, that 850 front fender moulding is longer then 70's so it might look weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPTDoh Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 really ? that makes no sense He must work at an airport or something where it's really noisy all the time. The door handles are a straight swap for sure. Can't speak for the trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endneu913 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I rememeber reading that someone used 2 sets of rears to obtain a completely keyhole-less look ( perhaps some modifications needed tho.) Anyone remember this thread or know where to find it? Search got me zilch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownTurboBrick Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yea, but the usefulness of a keyhole becomes apparent when you break or lose your remote. Yes you can unlock your car from the trunk, but that becomes a bit odd after a while :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember this thread or know where to find it? Search got me zilch. No modification needed. Swap in two passenger front handles (only the driver side has the keyhole)and the two rear ones are interchangeable. Modification is only necessary when you try to integrate the 850 key hole in the x70 handle. I hear it's a bitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jippi 855 GLT Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yea, but the usefulness of a keyhole becomes apparent when you break or lose your remote. Yes you can unlock your car from the trunk, but that becomes a bit odd after a while yes it really does sux when the remote breaks... i was gonna do the upgrade and blank out the key holes but last night i locked the car when i went to the store before work and the remote died, had to run home for a remote, man was it a long run... my car has an aftermarket system so you cant defeat the alarm with the switch for some reason..

Valet switch? I've never been completely locked out of my car due to failed fob battery. I've noticed it weakening and having to push a button more than once to get it to respond, but replaced it soon after that with no issues. Also with the wagon and the hatch lock, I'm not too worried :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
