I have purchased a pair of door handles from two different vendors, the first pair I sent back because the drivers handle was from the old stock, comes in a gray box, and the left was new stock packaged in a brown box. Both handles are Porsche Parts but different castings.
The gray box, old new stock is the regular handle that came installed on our cars. The later, packaged in the brown box, is different as the back edge of the lock casting is notched. On both orders the correct old style handle in the gray box were LH drivers side handles and the notched handles in the brown packaging were RH passinger side. Looks like I will be sending these back also. If anyone knows who has the old style RH handles in gray packaging please chime in. Attached image(s)

I just looked at the 2 dozen or so handles that I have and I don't see a notch on any of them. Maybe all mine are OEM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I've never seen the notched ones.

2 dozen??? Geesh guess I won't bother trading you handles for hubs.
You also seem to think you don't need driving lessons. Hmm. |

I have never seen the notched one either. Maybe it was an unmentioned upgrade or production change?

The quality of the older style is clearly better, the chrome and finish is superior.
I purchase new mirrors which are new production parts and they were of the same poor quality compared to the old stock. |
