Hi
I also ordered 2 handles from them(eurospares)priced @ £51 each. They did in fact send me a left and a right as there were bagged separately and had 2 different part numbers.Mine came complete with the mounting bracket/pivot to bolt to the door.Now from what I can see the handles are exactly the same although the brackets are handed.
You are correct in the VAT being added at the end of the order screen and also on top of p&p too! The delights of building a replica! I also ordered the embellishers so with vat and postage that'll be £312 sir!!
I'm told they sometimes do a discount if you visit them but then there is the travelling to taking in to account.You simply can't win.
I'm in the process of constructing a mould to produce a fibreglass panel to bolt everything to and then bond onto the rear door card of my door. I've made the mould so the panel is both left and right handed.
