In total agreement with you. :smiley:
Have missed our little chats. :wink:

Blimey, more metal in there than a teenagers mouth!
I bet it looks good in the flesh.

It does. :wink:
Not so dingy down below anymore with worn out plastic right and left footrests. :smiley: Now those really look cheap and nasty. :sick:

Right footrest is overkill
Can't fault Gulf's quality or price though :afro:

That's your opinion which I don't agree with. :wink:

And I thought of it first! :grin:

So you doubt his quality and price? :shocked: :shocked: :tongue:
Thought of what first exactly? As we 4er's and 5'ers have had Gulf's footrests for years

Footrest,did you glue yours ?

Footrest,did you glue yours ?
Double sided sticky tape beautifully placed on them by Gulf.
Took 5 minutes to fit the lot! Quite secure for now!

Footwell will get nice and warm in the summer or when the heating is pointed at your feet,impact adhesive might be better. :undecided:

Thanks for that.
So far so good. Fingers crossed and legs apart! :grin:

Why would you even need a right foot rest because your right foot should be either covering the accelerator or the brake or you could rest your right leg on that shiney pedal and nothing will happen. Love the left foot rest. I have an Osir one and it serves a pupose where as the right is overkill buddy but enjoy.
-
The right one comes in handy for when you have a right side crash impact as it comes straight across and chops you foot off saving all those shoe costs in the future :tongue:
-
You are all talking nonsense and I will have none of it.
I have cruise control and I want to rest my extremely expensive hand made shoes (on both feet!) on something other than vile plastic! :laugh:
-

Out of interest, does the Osir part have the rubber bits poking through?
It looks like it in the pics on their site.

Yes it does. It looks exactly like the pedals.

You got one p3eps?
If so, I'll make a point of having a nosey.

Not shure about the right hand side one :undecided: & def screw fix for me. :smiley:

(1) Not shure about the right hand side one :undecided: Answer: Fabulous in the flesh! Not cheap and nasty plastic which looks scuffed within minutes. & def (2) screw fix for me. :smiley: Answer: Whatever rocks your tug boat! The screws look ugly and do not match the rest of the pedal fixings. Get real! :wink:
Answers in red. :wink: :smiley:

I cant believe im going to say this but got to agree with AMW1 the screws do look ugly!

Thanks Sunday. You are in my will! :laugh:
These guys have been screwed by paying an unnecessary sum of money for the OSIR footrest with horribly massive ugly screw fixings. UGLY. :sick: QED.
-
And one more thing: they are completely peeved off because I thought of the right footrest first! :tongue: :evil: :laugh:
One other thing: because I was the first, I got it FREE! :tongue:

If p3eps has one then cool, if not I do and I can take some pics of it tomorrow if you want ?

Kev im sure you have posted pictures before as i can remember posting coments about how good it looked.

Good lad Kev, pop a pic up if you can.
Cheers...

dont agree with right footrest, or the plain metal bits in the lever. but the left one looks great and as always gulf's work is top notch!

+1. Don't you get a left footrest at all on RHD models? Am I missing something? Mine came out of the factory like this:

Not like that no. just a lump of plastic.

Oh right. A bit tight, they could have given you something a bit more elegant. I can see why you're all so into pedal covers now.
Does Gulfstream do a testicle rest/splitter? Mine get squashed together by the side bolsters. Can become uncomfortable during spirited driving? :grin:
-
Oh you suffer from the syndrome known as 'golf ball' too. :smiley:

Gene: They very secure and I cannot move the footrests even with the greatest of force! :tongue:
I am so glad this thread has been a great advertisment for Gulf. :wink:
Top man with perfect products. :smiley:
-
Still a overkill :wink: :grin: Less is more :wink:
-

Our pedals are on the other side remember - so we don't have a huge space for your left foot to sit!
You don't have any room to the right hand side of your gas pedal :tongue:
Glen - I have one of Gulfs pedals... not the OSIR one.
Like am1w said - I was the first to have an 'R' one... so I got it free too. I did give him some cash for a couple of beers though - and paid full price for my mates R32 one :nerd:
-
....... Less is more :wink:
....and the more the merrier. :wink:
Bling in my well. :laugh:
-
am1w you wouldn't have any contact details for where you got them? I'm not decided yet on the Right one (certainly my car has only 2 pedals so it might look nice) but I'll defo have a look at the leftie
... (what is this strange thing called a clutch :huh: :laugh:)

PM Gulfstream11 and he will oblige. Great guy. Super finish.
Clutch is a shortened version for Clutchbag: I usually take one on my nights out! Very handy! :grin:
-
A clutch, is a think DSG owners wish they had gone for when there mecatronic unit overheats and strands them at the side of the road :evil: . Or when DSG owners get the extra £200 oil change bill every couple years :tongue:

How depressing. :sick:

£200 extra oil change... for a handbag... I'm not paying that! I like my man purse without oil thank you very much :laugh:

My car has only 2 pedals
We've never met, but I'm assuming you only have two feet, so why would you want 3 pedals? :smiley:

DSG owners are lazy, simple. Thats why there cars are normally speced to the hilt as there cannot be arsed to do anything for themselfs. :tongue: :evil:
Moving a foot is like to much hard work to a DSG driver. :evil:

I quite agree, I AM lazy. That's why I also enjoy having power steering, 4 electric windows (mine even has flick control, so I don't even have to keep my finger pressed down for 4 seconds, shudder the thought), automatic climate control, satnav, servo brakes...
And the best accessory of all: heated seats, so my metabolism can take time off and not even worry about keeping my body warm :grin:
Come to think of it, aren't cars for lazy people who can't be bothered to walk anyway?

I AM lazy too! But one notch less than you due to the manual gearbox! :rolleyes:
The next car will be a fully fledged auto as I think this might prolong my life! :laugh:

Am1w :evil: you want a CVT that way you don't have to worry about power dropping off as it changes gear (as it dosn't) or the power of a gear change snapping your old weak spine in future years :evil: A mates G35 saloons CVT box i find better than DSG :evil:

Thank you for being the rep for 'Age Concern' on this forum. Most grateful.
I will certainly seriously consider your advice, but I might not be willing for the next few years to put this into practice if you don't mind.
Any other suggestions are most welcome, especially from you, as I am beginning to trust you more and more as time passses.
Thank you once again for your concern. I am certainly feeling more protected now with your newly provided and genuine support. :smiley: :tongue:
