Ok peeps - have the standard handbrake and am not happy with the look. Have any of you moved away from the standard and if so what gave you used - as below it does not look good in my car. Have looked on the web but would really like to save time and use something that's proven. As ever all views are appreciated.

Looks alright to my eyes…. at least it matches your mock carbon trim
Mock - i'll have you know thats genuine dipped fibreglass - none of your plastic stuffGet back to fixing the Torrey Canyon - suppose I should be grateful as I heard the cheap price of oil is down to the glut of oil on the market emanating from your Satsuma

What bothers me with the handbrake is the old Mini look from the Morris-Austin era..., same goes for Fiat Panra locks. The Ult deserves better IMO...
Cheers Daniel - like you I think this part if the car needs a serious update - I'm really close to dismantling the family Brabus Smart handbrake as that looks the nuts - only thing in the way is....... the rest of the family Edited by Abbosevolution on Thursday 8th January 15:03

Google 'handbrake handle cover' should throw up something like Richbrook. That's what I fitted I think, so long ago can't remember, might even get a carbon one come up!
just to add you'll need to to fit a gator as well.
I took this photo at a factory open day a few years ago, you would hope that the factory would upgrade to this.

Not the best pic in the world, but I had a leather sleeve made up for my handbrake as I didn't like the look of the unfinished Mini-like part....
Don't like the Fiat Panda exterior door handles? Nope, me either, so I replaced them with these...
Interior door handles & heater controls? Nope, they were replaced as well

From the Caterham Blatchat forum. No idea if it fits. Looks great if you like carbon. Name of supplier in Germany at the bottom of guide.
One of the many ideas on my wish list.
