sleeky tdi Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Has anyone fitted the above combo to their car?Im tempted to order a set for the arosa, as the standard handbrake is hideous, but at a cost not shy of £60 is it worth it? Ive never seen richbrook stuff up close so im hoping that the price reflects the quality of their products?Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 The quality is there, and you said it yourself the standard item is pants.£60 is pretty steep, but its better than spending £40 for a ***** one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeky tdi Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah ive just been doing some browsing, a momo gearknob is about the same price, and well i had a look at both momo and sparco handbrake handles and the richbrook is the nicest methinks!Goes and gets wallet...Lee.

Rookwise Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 How does the handbrake cover come off ?I'm assuming you just pull it and everything slides off, including the plastic gaiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Just got a richbrook tax-disc holder, and it is so much better quality than the others out there, its actually a really nice feature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookwise Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just finished my handbrake leaver and it was really easy to do. Just pry the clip free which is located on the underside of the standard handbrake and give it a good pull. Comes straight off.Fitted an alloy/blue handbrake leaver and gaiter kit by Resistanz which cost me £20. Went straight on.Gone from this: border="0" class="linked-image" />To this: border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookwise Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Seat covers were from Halfords Fenton, Headrest springs from Halfords Fenton, Trent Vale and Crewe, gear knob from Ebay, gear gaitor, handbrake + gaitor kit from Motor World in Newcastle.Only thing I bought from PDS Fenton is my little alloy aerial.

The subtle modder Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 My mistake style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> its just PDS stock the whole resiztance range so imediately thought that was where you got all the things from as they sell it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookwise Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah. I saw it all when I went in yesterday. Some are way cheaper than what Motor world sells them for as well. Might get some of the stretch covering/carpeting they have and recover the door panels, plastics etc. Want to cover up more of the grey.Going into A-Z across the road tomorrow morning. They got a nice DUB badge in there that's gonna look good with my newly sprayed Lupo badge lettering. Normally don't got for badges but I like this one.
