Hi Guys

Has anyone got any pics of the location of their handbrake lever, is it central in the tunnel or offset?
thanks

Sorry for the imminent thread hijack, but FAO Flamez; where did you get the edging trim used for your centre console? I could do with some of that, if you would be so kind!!

The trim is large rubber u trim and the brush material is a dismantled letterbox draught excluder from B&Q

MK1 Lagunas have the same material around the handbrake

Sorry, should have been more specific! I actually meant the smooth-edged, right angle along the top and side sections of the centre console.

Having said that, I have taken on board the letterbox suggestion! Do you know if it's IVA proof, or would I need a gaitor?

thanks guys, so looks like the choice is mine.

mine is also offset, this was done by mistake by dad but actually worked out to give slightly more arm room! a bit like jack_t but not quite as obvious
