Picture of the bmw e46 hand brake sleeve its thinner than the rover/freelander one , You just have to remove a pip inside to get it to go right down.

I was fortunate to have been supplied this high quality OEM piece of trim in walnut by your good self. It had its own Rover box, fitting instructions with glue and glue applicator. I kept the box and the fitting instructions in case I ever decide to sell it on. The handle did not need the glue as it fitted perfectly. Well done Rover

It really is a fantastic item, so special and rare. The box and fitting instructions were an added bonus. They claim in brochures that these were hand finished.

It certainly has a nice feel to it. It was kind of you Paul to knock £5 off what you paid for it. I owe you a beer lol

I suppose I could have put it on eBay and made a few more quid, but it's of better benefit to members.

I sold my mint Smokestone/Walnut wheel the same afternoon. The door finishers were also listed and sold in three minutes too.
