Default Interior handles

What options are there for the worn handles. I can see the white plastic. Where can I buy new or any tricks?

If you mean the molded plastic pulls that you use to close the doors, you can dye or paint them, or buy replacements from a part-out. If you mean the chrome door handles for opening the doors, you can paint them (black, for example), or again just replace from a parts car.

You could also get them here, though I would second Jeremy's suggestion to find a parts car first. My driver's side door handle is floppy and rattles but it doesn't bother me enough to pay $73 plus shipping to fix it.

Chris, check your texts. I'll fix that at the meet. Quick and easy. Even Pat couldn't slam more than 3 beers in the time it takes

Yes the part u pull to close the door. My interior is that tan color and I have seen anyone with that color interior. I don't even see that part in my color at ecs. Basalt grey looks the closest, maybe that's my color?

I have a light tan as well, beige or something. I need a new pull. I am putting in CF trim, I am thinking of wrapping my pull handles in CF too, but idk if that would look cheesy or not

i think u mean ecru

ecs shows the right front (pass side)

Audi B5 A4 Quattro 1.8T > Interior > Door > ES#257479 Interior Grab Handle - Right Front - 8D1867172AR01

i too have been looking for a complete new kit in ecru.

i think you also need the window controls too...but ecs doesn't show those in ecru either.

Audi B5 A4 Quattro 1.8T > Interior > Window > ES#433826 Window Switch Bezel - Onyx Black - 8D1959521B4EM

in my mind, if you want the pieces you need:

left front ($60) + window controls ($73)
right front ($60)
rears ($50x2) (if you want 'em)

or you do like others have mentioned...paint/resurface/find a part out

i've never gotten around to calling ecs to see if they have all the above pieces in ecru...
