Good luck in fitting. Removing the old one can be a right pain in the arse. I have a Steinmetz one, but don't have it fitted whilst at Uni due to having my Irmscher badge stolen, so didn't know if they'd come back for that

I have the silver one as well.

It's not too bad getting the old one off if you fancy taking the whole lever off and have a bench vice handy

That's what I do, I've got 2 complete levers and take them in and out, much much easier.

Depends if pre or post-97. The leather Steinmetz ones only really fit post-97 due to the different lift up reverse plastic bits. The instructions for that, in the box, actually say to use a haxsaw.

Bigger than the standard ones, and plastic

Quite nice though, except I put mine on wonky so the reverse lift up thing rubs at the front a bit

You can get it with Vauxhall logo too.

I have a Steinmetz one, on a gear stick, that I may be will to sell - don't really use it. Cost me £50.

For my Steinmetz one? £40 delivered, not including gear stick. There is 1 bolt missing, but it fits securely none the less.
