CSL alcantara handbrake cover thingy
 

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?

yes sorry. The hand grip.

Don't know if this link helps?

you sir as a superstar. I doth the proverbical cap to thee ;-)

right time to hassle dealers tomorrow. thanks again.

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?
