The new Checker and Union Jack door handles are now available for all MINIs. Has anyone installed these? Anyone have a step by step? It looks like you would have to take off the inside door panel to do the install.

Oh, how I will catch hell from my wife for this...
Now you just need to order that set of plastic trim tools from EAS to help with the installation! After all what good is a project if you don't need to buy a new tool to complete it. Something else for the little lady to be upset at us for.
That's interesting.. When i first saw them i figured they would just stick on over the handles with the double sided tape..
Are you people saying they are actually a complicated install??
Anyone know if the handles are sold by the piece or in pairs?
Thanks for that link ! $88 a pair sure beats $110 a pair.
I think that already answered your question. That price you see is for one. You have to click on the drop down and order a right one and a left one. Two separate items.

I read somewhere (MINI2??) that the handles are the same from the facelifted R50/53's through the R56 with the R56 comfort access handles being the exception.
Oh, and RealOEM brings them up as an option for my '06 as well.

I have not replaced door handles, but I know it is very difficult to do. glnr13 swapped his for carbon fibre handles and never even got to the drivers side because it was so frustrating.
