i would assume that this will be an easy endeavor.
I think the issue is the costs for the Ineos parts. There are threads on this subject on this forum somewhere.

You'll need to find a dealer in a RHD country that is willing to ship you the "passenger side" A Pillar trim

I have asked IA to put this together as a kit that they can offer. The same with the rear handles that were on the PTO vehicles.

Fingers crossed someone does this, I’d definitely be interested.

I don't recall. Were the PTO rear handles overhead? I have used a set of these for a while. Pretty good positioning to help little people climb into the back seat.

We ALL want, No NEED, a grab handle on the driver side. I'm not sure price is important; after all it's a $90K vehicle already! I was told by my dealer that Ineos will not provide parts in the U.S. from rest-of-world vehicles. I hope this changes. I looked under the A-pillar plastic and it looks like it should just bolt on.

This is pretty standard practice for virtually all brands at this point, so it is unlikely that it will change. From having to deal with acquiring special order parts from Europe for vehicles in the past (I spent just shy of 2 decades in the European automotive aftermarket/service world), it is anything but simple and straight forward, and usually just not worth it for the brand/dealer to get involved unfortunately

There isn't, the airbags are the same on all vehicles IA make. This has been discussed previously

I am in if you get someone to do it, without sliders or steps this handle would be really nice to have.

I would find a handle in this position an awkward hindrance.
I just grab the gutter and leap in. No touchy steering wheel.
I have to reply (i know i shouldn't)...I say to each his own. To me it's needed regardless of other options.

You did say "We ALL want, No NEED" ;)
Ineos said the Grenadier has everything you want and nothing you don't , which is the ethos I've followed.
Like Big Jim, I don't need a vanity mirror :cool:
I hope the handle works for you. I reckon given the design it could sprain one's wrist but then again , who knows?

We all need an Aussie friend! I would totally be down if we could get the grab handle for the Driver side as well.
