Post by: Davstylee on 14 May 2010, 10:05: If you are talking about the metal foot rest plate then it has to be drill and screw fit.

If you are too lazy or don't know how to drill and screw fit it, then should you even be driving let alone driving a GTI?

Post by: AlanD on 14 May 2010, 10:53: Cant see what the real diffrence is apart from the stick on being piss easy to put on? This is my stick on, took 2 minutes to put on . . . .

For the badges check this thread out.

As for the footrest I got mine from a guy on the forum, proper good quality and he also does loads of different designs. Oh and he also makes the little inserts for the seat height adjuster handle. The footrest is a drill and screw job though.

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=139650.0

If you take a look at the link, mine are exactly the same as the ones in Hurdy’s post, about 4 down. The guys name on the forum is Gulfstream drop him a PM and he will sort you out with a set for a good price.

As for the whole drill and screw v stick on, I guess if you have the DSG like me your foot will be resting on the plate a lot more than in a manual, so with a stick on it is more prone to coming off.

Post by: am1w on 15 May 2010, 10:32: Stick-on for me.
Those screws look vile, stick out like blind boils and do not suit the rest of the pedal fixings.
As you can see I blinged my well totally with Gulf's jewellery! :grin:
More is marvellous!
Just love it! :laugh:

My Beautiful Silver Well!

I am interested in the OEM looking footrest, but not able to PM you (due insufficient posts..?).

Are you able to PM me, or do you have an email or website?

Cheers!
