To shave the door you dont need a kit, all you require is a solenoid
to pop open the door. Kits that you can import only change the door handle to the likes of the Audi 500 or A4.
Im sure i have seen Autostyle advertise kits for that kind of thing. Just remember it is ILLEGAL to have shaved front doors as medical rescuers cannot then open the door from the outside and if you wish to sell your car one day will not get it through road worthy.
Hope this helps a little.

Don't go that route of shaving doors,

Why not guys

My cars clean shaven, & I use it everyday with no problems (touch wood).

King R: All you need is a good panel beater. Guys often use fibre glass to cover the old handles, but if its not done properly, you'll start to see the cracks & lines after a while.

Autostyle sells the soleniods for the boot. You can modify those to work 100%. I've seen guys that moded the central locking pumps to work, & those dont make a huge noise when clicking the doors open.

What colour is your car?
