Handbrake trim

[GlynRS2]

Has anyone found a leather handbrake trim that will fit our cars & look good?
I like the leather ones that they have on Mk 4 golfs that cover the entire lever & handle - but I think our handbrakes are considerably longer.
If not I will have to start searching to see what might fit on the old ETKA.

Found it!

From Audi Cabriolet 01/99 - 08/00:
part no.: 8G0 711 463 05A
description: handbrake lever trim (leather) satin black
price: £34.00 + vat

I will give Martyn a ring at VAG Parts and see if he can get me one - I will let you know what it is like.

Glyn,

You are right. And not only this, the late cabrio has many more interior parts that woul refresh our S and RS cars. Including the steeringwheel too. Tha handbrake lever is also cute. Ill get one myself too if I can.

You could fit the leather handbrake grip from a cabrio as well.

There is a change of handbrake levers (item 3) around the same time as the leather trims were fitted so they may not be a straight swap.

There are some good looking handbrake handle covers now on the EBAY in germany at the auto optic and styling section. Also there is one aluminium with carbon surface and only some 15 euros. There is gonna be the Essen motorshow which is a huge automotive event.
