CSL alcantara handbrake cover thingy

[Das Chin]

I need to replace mine and local dealer says only nappa leather when I give them the chassis number.

does anyone know the actual part number for the handbrake cover?

maybe dealers don't stock it any more as not made?

am sure the CS has the same one?

cheers, DC

Sorry for dense question, but do you mean the hand grip covering by the button or the gaiter covering the mechanism?

[Das Chin]

yes sorry. The hand grip.

Have a look at thread....trading>parts for sale>new and used interior parts !
Clubber had new hand brake lever for sale, but confused with posts & don't know if sold....may be worth a contact?....did mention part no.

I also want to replace my alacantara handbrake handle only, Is it easy to remove? I read somewhere that it is easier to replace the 'whole kabooche', so to speak.. But surely that would be v expensive, Especially as the rest is in perfect condition, IE the handbrake gaitor.
Thanks in advance guys.

surpisingly no its not major ££.

when you place the order you get the whole handbrake assembly as the alcantara hand grip is stuck on.

I thought it was going to be fortunes but its looks not to be the case.

part number is 34412282662

661 is for left hand drive cars only.

Sorry to get personal, but how much'ish?

[Das Chin]

£58 plus vat

[sp2c]

You're right....that's no where near as much as I thought it would be
Good find

If you want to keep it looking like that, get some diving gloves :gayfight:

if you saw my one Neil after 112k miles you would understand.

looks like some phat bird has been sat on it for too long

When you often have to spend loads to get insignificant minor stuff, £58+ vat seems even better value when you see what you get looking at the pics.

Its the little touches like this that make the car look and feel like new inside, Its also a steal at the price compared to some CSL parts, I think you might of bought the last one in UK stock (Git) lol, Im gonna order one this week as my alacantra is looking a bit tired, I would really love brand new seat covers IE to make my seats like brand new, They are actually in decent condition but that would really make the interior like brand new.
