Remodot Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Evening All, I'm looking at little jobs to do on my 2006 S while its off the road in the garage over winter. The handbrake cover is something which has bugged me for ages, looks like someone with sharp nails or rings on has scratched and dented it, its not too bad but something I'd like to address. Do I have to change the whole assembly or can I just change the cover? I've seen some assemblies for sale on ebay but to be honest they are not much better, looks like a common problem. So does anyone have a good one for sale? Cover, if that can be changed, or the whole assembly. Anyone know how easy or difficult it is do do either? Thanks in advance for any help.

½cwt Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Have you got a picture of the problem? The rear part of the trim is available separately i.e. not the actually handle and button bit but the bit that cover down towards the pivot into the centre console p/n 997 424 155 00 plus colour code for black 8YR, Stone Grey 5X5, Sand beiger 8G1 and Sea blue 3SB.

Remodot Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hi ½cat, its the actual leather on the handle, ill get pictures later and post them. There are a couple of other bits of trim I'd like to replace, I'll post the lot. Maybe someone has bits and pieces lying around and willing to sell them on.

Philc Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 The seller does have listings for just gearknob or arm rest etc, I'm guessing they will do anything or bespoke if it's within capabilities. I have that link saved as I want both gearknob and handbrake doing at some point in the future. There are other re-trimmers like royal steering wheels who have a good reputation, I'd pick one close by or recommended for piece of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remodot Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Thanks for the lead. I have taken the other off, handbrake, gear shift gaiter and gear knob. All posted to the guy who will have all back before Christmas. Looks like a good deal for £130. I will post pictures once returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remodot Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yes good call from Philc to use these guys, good deal for £130. Took around 4 weeks but that was over Christmas and New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
