....I don't get it. Who looks into your footwell and why potentially make the footrest slippy and also something else to need to keep clean?

Some of the new Sciroccos have rubber foot pedals.

But some people don't 'get' carbonfibre, so it's each to their own. :shrugs:

What did you use to stick the footrest to the plastic, Phil?
I still haven't attached mine. I'm waiting for my R-style pedals to arrive  :wink:

i think stainless steel foot rest plate looks nicer then plastic with dimples on it. As you say ETTO of course.

My footwell is regually regularly hoovered, and treat it as its my living room floor. My pet hate is a dirty footwell.  :angry:

....Is that "regally" or "regularly" hoovered? - Answer I'm sure is both :smiley:

You wouldn't like my footwell in Winter - It's what happens when you frequent the countryside. It's why I have the rubber foot matts and not carpet ones. It gets cleaned but it ain't pristine.

Of all the people in all the world to say this you would be bottom of my list. please refer to your very own project thread. Is that not your engine with a carbon cover, who on earth see's this i bet people see my pedals more than your cover.  :smug: Also in regard's to it being slippy it is only the brake that has rubber non slip, the loud pedal has a plastic insert and finally mr double standard's Robin so what if your foot slips off the rest just put it back on unless your's has special power's and does something more than mine.
And i know your going to tell me that the carbon cover is to carry on the carbon theme well that is the very same reason why this mod exsist's.


Please come back to your sense's as soon as possible.  :smug:  :evil:  :tongue:  :rolleyes:  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:  :kiss:  :grin: :grin: :grin:

....Chill, Top Cat - I was only expressing my honest opinion - Not passing a judgement on you. We are allowed to have differences in our tastes and likes etc :rolleyes:

I have to say that the pic you posted of it matching your Ali cover etc does make it look very good in a photograph :cool:

You know me Red i was just causing mischief as usual. All mod's are good in my opinion tasteful or not. Its about our culture. Culture is the one thing that seperate's us from the animal's that sh!t in the wood's our behavior somtimes does not.  :evil:

....No problem, TC - I sometimes forget your mischievous streak!

That's what's so great about the GTI culture - Modding is a big part of it but so is keeping it very stock/oem as Phil is doing.

Sorry dude.
Most of the time i bite my lip when i dont agree with someone.  :kiss:
