Title: Anyone got handbrake cover from Bold sport
Post by: homesqueeze on February 14, 2014, 06:43:46 pm

Has anyone bought this handbrake cover from Bold sport? If so, is it any good? Seems like a decent price. Cheers.

Just bought one about 2 months ago red stitching and oem quality  Worth every penny compared to paying VW prices
  Easy to change :happy2:

Sorry chaps, I'm going to bring this one down a bit. I bought one based on the cost, as an additional spare to my recently replaced ED30 version. Whilst it is good quality, it isn't anthracite like the GTI/ED30 trim - it is darker, with the leather being black.
Whilst the stitching is the same red, it is longer in length than that on the original.

Still, you'd have to have these side by side - in general, most people wouldn't notice, and it is a nice upgrade over the plain black stitched GTI trim. 

Will post pics as soon as I can.

Thanks for the info. I am going to be changing from a well worn standard GTI handbrake, so anything will be an improvement!
