anyone ever put a passenger side door handle on the driver side?

my car was broken into last night. access was gained by popping the dirver side door lock out.

I am going to get this repaired, and I'm considering putting a passengers side door lock on the drivers side so get rid of the lock on the driver side. has anyone else done this?

Ug, sorry to hear about the break in

Perhaps you can get the handle/lock assembly from a right hand drive car if you can't just flip a passenger side handle. The E46 group would alter the door handle/lock and install a blank cover in but the design of that handle allowed that to work, the Mini looks to be a bit more complicated unless you can just use the handle cover. Good luck though, let us know if you manage something.
