Handbrake and inner parts of centre console removal.

[Simpy]

Im wanting to remove my handbrake and replace it with the one that came with my new interior! Ive done a search round all the forums and here obviously, but came up with nothing that was much help to me! Any one got a guide or pictures or anything that could help me!? Im also wanting to remove the traingly shape bits in the centre console so i can get them retrimmed to match! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that but I have a fully leather one in now and have no clip! I can see it one my new one!

Mate the clip part the fellow member is refering to is hidden behind the trim that goes up and down when you use the handbrake, not sure if you can get to the clip with out removing the trim, to remove the trim the top arm rest cover needs to be removed to gain access to a screw that hold that piece of trim around the handbrake......I could be corrected if I have missed some thing.
I will check mine later.....if that is the case.

Had a quick look mate, looks like the arm rest cover will need to come of if you have one. Hope that helps.
