During the initial pull off of my VRS the leather handbrake always seems to vibrate against its plastic housing which is rather annoying - has anyone else had this and potentially fixed it? I'm considering checking all of the fixings to see if anything is slack in addition to putting some tough foam on either side of the plastic to give some padding to the handbrake. 

Not seen it moaned about before tbh.

 

Check your exhaust isn't touching underneath somewhere

Cant say ive ever heard anyone complaining about it either! must just be yours. :P

I'll check that, i've not noticed an exhaust rattle though to be fair.

CHARMING...haha. It may be as i up'd the tension in the handbrake after fitting springs on the rear callipers - so that coupled with possiby the screws in the plastic working loose? not sure, i'll check the tension on them at some point to make sure its not that. 

I need some of those rubber gromits for the glovebox too, one's fell out and disappeared into the ether - so its rattle central at the minute -_- ! Only my MMA gloves seem to stop it as they fill most of the glovebox when rolled up! 

Are you sure it isn't the seat belt latches vibrating against the outside of the centre console ( same area)? That creates an annoying rattle/ vibration on some cars at low revs. the fix is a little bit of foam where they touch either side

I did think that, but i've checked it whilst driving - put my hand around to feel where its coming from and its definitely the handbrake against the plastic casing. I'm going to check the screws on it to make sure its all secure enough and possibly foam the plastic between the handbrake and on the base near the carpet to dampen things down.
