Handbrakes!!

[pammy]

I love my SLK, has black Birds Eye Maple and Black leather interior and looks coooooooooooool:bannana:

Steering wheel is half wood half leather, gorgeous to hold. Gear stick - or whatever you call it in an auto - is also half n half, very nice, BUT, the handbrake as crappy black plasticy stuff. Looks OK, but could look so much better.

The interior on my MGF was cream leather with door skins, gear knob and handbrake all matching - looked really nice. So, can I mod my SLK's handbrake? If so, what to and how much is it likely to rush me, is fitting hard!! MB would have to do it.


Ooh errr, starting the mod route - have also been looking at new alloys too but don't tell 'im indoors

Do you have a proper hand brake? Or the foot operated brake most Mercs have?

A proper one

A proper one

I'm sure Brabus do something that would fit the bill - probably extortionately expensive though - worth giving them a call.

Here ya go young Pammy, happy modding.
They are in America, but I'm sure they'll ship over here....For a price.

You could always wrap it in interior-coloured leather, or see if the final edition SLK has a different handbrake lever

You could always wrap it in interior-coloured leather,

...or burberry flavour perhaps ??

yes, the slk handbrake lever is cheap crap. i've wondered whether a good upholsterer could wrap it in leather??? not too keen on the aluminium ones that seem to be the only alternative.
