Got a little pressie through the post this morning from China:



Sorry about the image quality. Quick to fit if not a bit fiddly, may have broken one of the clips by forcing it on :whistle: but it's tight and going nowhere. Much smarter than the standard foot rest. I liked the box it arrived in as it was labelled "genuine parts"! My boot is starting to fill with redundant parts....
Looks good :smiley: how much with shipping?

Watts, looks very smart, especially with the mats.  :cool:  So munch better and more oem looking than the standard plastic offering.

Anyone ordering and fitting one of these - some fitting guidance here.

Will help you avoid breaking a clip.  :wink:

I read your excellent guide but I'm an impatient idiot. Still, just about got away with it!

 :grin:  It's in, it's not going anywhere.  :smiley:

Not only do they look miles better, they are so much more comfortable underfoot than the horrible plastic one.  Small but worthwhile mod.

So, today have fitted my new footrest, refitted my wonky numberplate, dusted and vacuumed the interior and washed my wheels. Was going to wash the rest of the car but discovered a critique of my Wo-Wo cloths that were outside awaiting use:



The dirty feathered feckers. They are depositing heaps of the stuff everywhere at the moment, usually on my car but now this! Is nothing sacred? :rolleyes:

Been a busy day today, now rounded off by kerbing my front n/s alloy :angry: Not too bad though and thankfully the same one a scuffed a few weeks ago. Will have to think about a repair soon (once I've paid for the front wing respray :rolleyes:).
