Leather handbrakes cover

[Amr]

I got one at last for less than almost £8.00

here are the pics (bit low quality)
before removing the cover...(it was a hassle - need to apply HUGE force! )

compared to plastic default...

Still I wanted to have the balck/Grey stiched one, but actually not too many choices.

anyone holding the same?

I've got the black leather one too. I wanted the red/black LCR one but it was sooooo expensive.

Mine was quite loose though when it came to taking it off. Feels nicer than the plastic though doesn't it?

Looks great and I bet it feels nicer than the low rent plastic jobby, thing is where did you get it from and does it still let the release button do it's job?

Yes, it doesnt affect the chrome button at all.

Go to your SEAT dealer, ask them for 1M0 711 461 A E74. It should be a leather handbrake cover (get them to check)

I paid £15 for mine... feels and looks much better than the plastic sh*te!

i've seen a carbon fibre handbrake cover for the tt, i presume it'd fit as they look identical but the price put me off......................... around the £200 area!! http://www.ttshop.co.uk/osir.asp?cat=3077&product=701537 and here it is.

heheh

the carbon fiber cover will not make a weight reduction actually and hence, wont affect performace. this is the reason i wont buy it

TOO EXPENSIVE & few ppl would appreciate and consider that it is genuine.

Hey Amr...i want to know from where did you get your leather hand brake cover and your arm rest and how much did they cost you??

 

[Mr OCD]

Can you replace the chrome button?

Mines all chipped and looks manky...

Very nice - I think I might do this to my car now I've seen the difference to tacky placky! And it'll match the wheel better

I had the black leather one with grey stitching on mine for a little while but have taken it off. It was in the For Sale section a little while back but there was no interest in it. Still have it but it doesnt match the cars interior anymore.

Are they easy to fit - honestly! And.....how much?

Extremly easy. Just give your old one a firm tug towards the gearstick and then push the new one on.

Can't put a price here as its against forum rules but a pm asking me isn't against the rules

Cool, well I've replied to your PM - if I was to attempt to remove mine tonight would it go back on again? Just so i can check it's not superglued on or anything

Could you be so kind and give me the part number? If you still have it?

 

[Rookwise]

Its from a Golf R32 AFAIK and part number is:-

1J0 711 461 A

Had a lot of pm's about it since posting and it also sold at last

Thanks, it's the type I'm after. I'll order from the stealer over here.

ETKA says it's from a regular Bora/Golf, not at all R32. But they don't list a specific for the R32. Confusing.
It sure looks much like the R32 one.
