Body Colour Matched Door Handles - cornflakes - 09-28-2007
Does anyone know where i can buy the body color matched door handles for the 00-04 focus sedan?
I heard the mazda tribute 04 fits perfectly. But i see a lot of svts have body colored matched door handles. Will those fit on the sedan ?
I'm looking for it in cd silver.
Also, same goes for the side mirrors - looking for them in cd silver to replace my stock "black" side view mirrors.

you need a mazda vin number to buy parts from them
your best bet is to just go to ford for the svt ones
i think these are the part #'s
Replace the XXX with the 3 letter SVT color number:
CD Silver - BHB
Comp Orange - BHL
Black - BAJ
Sonic Blue - BHX
Infra Red - BHD
outside handle 2T2Z-7822404-XXX
bezel keyhole YL8Z-78218A14-XXX
Bezel no keyhole YL8Z-7821B08-XXX

AFAIK the body coloured mirrors are in fact a skull cap that is paintable - would probably be a lot less expensive and easier than replacing the whole mirror assembly. I could use a pair myself ...

sorry, what does AFAIK mean?
So you are saying that i can just paint my current stock black side mirrors myself?
Do you know where i can get the paint job done at? Or what i need to do it myself?

sorry u got me confused here: so exactly what do i need to order and how many of each?
outside handle (i'm assuming is the 2 rear door handles with no key holes) - order 2
bezel keyhole (is this the driver's door handle?) - order 1?
bezel no keyhole (what is this? the passenger side handle?) - order 1?
grand total: 4 handles (for the sedan).
did i get this correct?

AFAIK = As Far As I Know ... not exaclty ... you buy two little pieces that fit the outside of the mirrors - they look like skull caps - you might be able to buy them painted or perhaps black paintable.

Youll need to buy 4 handles
3 non key hole bezels
and 1 bezel with a key hole
everything is sold seperate
so theyll be 8 pieces in total
your best bet is probably just finding a focus in a scrap yard and sanding and painting all the pieces yourself
because itll be alomost $100 a door from ford

ok called ford, and they said they no longer make or sell SVT door handles.
So i'll probably go with MAZDA.
It's about $90 a door handle, comes pre-painted (2 parts per door handle: the actual handle and the traingular piece).

As far as I know, Auto Mfg's are required by law to make parts available for at least 10 years for each model year.

well he said i can't buy em. So i went to Mazda and i bought the 4 door handles for the Tribute (01-04) even though i didn't even own a Mazda car. They just came in so i'm picking them up.
Why is service so much better at all the japanese companies? (toyota, mazda, etc). I found their service and voices to be very happy and pleasant and ready to help but whenever I call FORD everyone sounds angry and unhappy.
What gives?
Anyways.....is it easy to install the door handles myself or do i need a technician to do it?

Coz dood, your in North York...where imports are King, and Domestics are looked down on. If you go to a Domestic dealership in a small town (Like Pembroke/Petawawa for example), they will get to know you on a first-name basis, as well as be happy to see you (coz you COULD have gone down the street to Toyota or Honda and bought a car), and often go out of their way to give you deals on stuff. I know I get deals from some Ford and Lincoln dealers in smaller places.
Besides, a custom Focus is always more interesting than a Civic, Corolla, Yaris, etc...
