Fitment of window handle

Included is a photo of my interior panel which a window handle will not fit. The interior is not original, and the handle for which you open/close the door slants in the oposite direction of the original. The interior was done by po, however the passenger side has the original color side...which handle fits. here is a picture. If anyone has the handle or a picture of it, PM me for immediate sale. Thanks.

-Ray

**Arrow/circle is where the handle would interfere with the door**

That looks like a power window door panel which means the handle was not meant to be there.

The passenger is the original OEM panel as it matches the original interior color. Since I am color blind I would appreciate someone telling me the Mazda color of the panel I have posted. Also, if somoene has a set of the panels for manual windows in the color I posted, PM me I will purchase immediately. If you could post them pictures, excelent!!

You are really color blind. Iirc, the pics you posted in your other thread show a brown dash, gray driver's door panel and a red passenger side. Before you start buying matching interior parts, decide on your exterior color, then pick between the brown/gray/burgandy colors offered on the S3s.

If your dash is in good condition, and you don't mind the brown, go with that. If you don't care for any of those color options, pick a new one and change the interior color entirely.

Ray, have you decided on an exterior color yet? You have a lot more to change over to gray than just the door panels if that is your final interior color choice. I have both door panels in very good condition, they've been redone in oem fabrics at some point in time.

I can't use them because of the lower mounts for the door bars.
