These are what I bought. You can find them cheaper on ebay. I think I only paid about $90 for the pair. That's less then I would have paid for the heavy duty solenoids that I would need to work the door latches in my c3. My C3 door would not open easly. My 6 year old son had trouble opening the doors now my 4 year old daughter can do it without any trouble.
I will take some pictures of how I have them installed. I removed all of the old latching system out of the door(Latch, inside pull handle, Lock). It made the door feel so much more solid(Nothing rattling) Right now I don't have the windows/track in. I used a spare set of doors for testing but the spare set are going to stay and I'll move the windows over to the spare set. They fit better than the doors I had on the car.
When I was looking at doing shaved door handles I was worried about how to get into the car if the battery died. The cool thing about these is the manual pull is built onto the latch. The drivers side has two pulls one for inside and one for outside. The Passenger side has one inside. The inside pulls I mounted on the floor by the door sill back next to the seat. It fit great and it looks like it was made for the c3.
The latches work on just two wires like any solenoids. The wiring took me a while but that was just because I wanted to use the electric door handles and do a logical electric lock. I wired mine so that if I hit the lock button the outside/inside electric door handles won't work. I did the inside so that I wouldn't accidentally hit the inside button and the door fly open. If you are just straight shaving and have no electric door handles and don't need to lock it than it should be a breeze.
