    keep the standard one the after market ones look utter shit that's why 106parts.co.uk sell so many replacement o.e ones. And if you get a shit fitting after market one then your car can fail the m.o.t too.

    That's preference mate but it's entirely up to you btickle1.
    Here's how I done mine and it worked perfectly.

    1) Cut underneath the grip to loosen it and it should be easier to remove. (don't cut all the way through incase you wana put it back on) This will leave you with just the handbrake leaver

    2) Replace with the new handle/grip and use grub screws to tighten the grip.

    Ta dah there we go, you have your new handbrake handle/grip
    Hope this helps mate
