Fitting vent levers - possible?

[Ad.]

Hi all,
I am looking to do a couple of interior mods to my FR, the first of which will be changing the vent levers and hanbrake to the cupra style like picture below:

(I hope owner doesnt mind me borrowing his picture)

Are these vent levers easy to fit and a simple clip off and on job?

Many thanks,
Ad

Yep.

Lovely job thanks for that, makes such a big difference for such little effort! Other than handbrake, vent levers and armrest are there any other bits avaiable in red that makes a big diffence?

[Ad.]

I think im getting mine from the dealers

 

[telwick]

:O do they sell them? as i have been in a few times and they only seem to sell daft things like dust caps and that?

Any guide as to how these clip off? ive tried twisting and just puling them off and neither worked!!

 

[Chocozai]

Really? Mine just pull off. Maybe because I have the 1.2?

They just pull off , If its the first time off they will be quite stiff , Give them a good tug

Just went out again and one just pulled off the others didn't, more force next time i think and it will be fine!!
Any how too's on the handbrake eplacement as well?

yep

Theres a small "button" underneath the standard Handbrake cover , If you get a smallish flatblade screwdriver and pull this button out , the cover will then just pull off


Getting the Cupra Leather one off is a right pain as you carnt get to the button

Nice one thanks mate, I'm planning on leaving the cupra leather one in once i get it on Monday. Ill probably get a small screwdriver under the vent levers and gently prize them off. looking at getting some carbon fibre vent surrounds as well as possibly the bits around my gear stick

 

[AndrewJB]

i Left mine on, Until i sold the car , Then it was a right pain to get off

 

[Ad.]

Nice one, cheers for your help, got all standard bits off including handbrake. Can install straight away tomorrow when the dealer gets it in

Is there anyone local to either Cambridge or Blackpool able to help fit HID's? I dont fancy doing it myself, and have no problem sending some beer money the fitters way?
Cheers

how much did you pay for the vent levers and the handbrake cover mate?

 

[Ad.]

The hand brake was around £14 and the vent levers were just under £2 each..bargain considering the difference they make!

 

[Chocozai]

Interesting. I might look into getting those.

 

[DanLewis1991]

how much was the vent levers on there own mate? do you have the part number..

 

[Ad.]

£2 each as as above mate..Unfortunately no prt number but when i go in tomorrow i will get a receipt with numbers on

 

[Chocozai]

Are they only available with red stripes on?
