Yes, Firefrost it is, you might need to be a bit more flexible about getting the right colour, you could have a long wait otherwise.

You may be best off doing what I did and getting some unpainted ones from an earlier 400 from a scrapyard, and getting a can of spray-paint and some lacquer.
The Mk2 handles are notoriously fragile, so if you replace like for like, it's only a matter of time before you'll end up with flappy ones again.

Yes they are. Significantly. But they're ridged at the back so don't feel quite as nice as the later ones. Fit perfectly though.

IIRC Rimmers have some in firefrost, worth a look.

Get a colour coded set from a civic, easier to paint.

Good tip! Must admit, I found mine flaked a bit (although I am the world's worst sprayer), so anything that makes the job easier can only result in a better quality finish. Rep added.

Could you not repair the ones that are on the car saves messing about with painting and all that ive had all four of mine done there was only the drivers door that went but did all four while i was at it done them over 4 years ago now and all still ok . Probley stronger infact than just replacing them with oe ones again just a thought . Think there is a how to fix on here somewhere if it wasnt on here its on xpf . Good luck anyway and hope you get your handles sorted ok .

Mine lasted 10 years without repair but only a year with so I'm replacing them with new, however I'm beefing them up before fitting.

Rimmers have some resonably priced ones available and brand new 400/civic ridge back ones are available for £15 on ebay.
