Well, my alloy footrest turned up from the supplier in China and as a bonus, no import it VAT payable (result).

I was fearing it would look a piece of junk but to be honest, it's really well designed and built and looks very OEM with good quality plastics and metal.

I'll fit it later today and post up some pictures etc to see how well it fit etc.

Fingers crossed. I have ordered one of these too !!  :shocked:
Mine turned up yesterday. First impressions are very good. I agree with Sootchucker, the quality seems very good and seeing as it will be fitted lower down I think you would be hard pushed not to know that it wasn't a genuine part  :smiley:
Thinking of ordering this footrest myself, can anyone confirm that it will definitely fit a manual car?
Should do. I think the footrests are the same in manual and DSG. My current GTI is a manual so I will fit it at the weekend and let you know and take a couple of photos if you like.
I am planning to fit it to a DSG R hopefully  :wink:

Try as I might I can't like the Cadiz.

I wish we'd been given the option of 18" prets, like the rest of Europe , I would have gone for them.

I guess an R400/420 and a GT4 is pushing it a little  :rolleyes:

I was drooling over the GT4 not 5 mins ago on facebook  :drool:
