What seat insert is that?

The GTD and I assume the GTI have a metal foot rest.

Mk6 GTI RHD Clutch foot rest anyone know the part number and price? (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=168343.0)

Hi mate

The only reason I didnt push for the 35 inserts was the fact that they would sit next to the kick plates. I thought it might look like a '35' overload? Thanks once again for mine!

Post by: ErikGTI on 14 October 2012, 14:46: Hi guys,

I can see the point of having the seat inserts opposite to having a blank...
I am confused about ordering the footrest...to my knowledge it comes with a "racy" footrest or am I looking at the wrong pics...please advise....love to spend some more money on the GTI :smiley:
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: Snoopy on 14 October 2012, 21:46: Right hand drive cars only get a basic plastic foot rest not the metal one left hand drive cars get. :wink:
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: ErikGTI on 15 October 2012, 10:06: ahhh that figures...I get a metal footrest...
:wink:

Never really understand why each country gets a different standard GTI (with the exception of eg. extra heating in cold countries).
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: mwad gti on 15 October 2012, 10:53: Hi

Has anyone got any pics with the footrest fitted to their GTi ?

Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: EyeballPaul on 15 October 2012, 14:18: I have those ones, but have seen some on ebay with the GTI part red backed. I thought they looked really good may change mine.
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: mwad gti on 15 October 2012, 15:25: What kind of money are they ?

I would be interested in getting 1 from Gulfstream11. I recently got my seat inserts from him and I was impressed with the parts and how quickly I received them.
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 15 October 2012, 15:29: Mine was form Gulfstream, can't remember the price as he did a deal cos it was the first 35 logo one he had done.
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: EyeballPaul on 15 October 2012, 18:55: Tink i pain about £8 off Ebay. A few people going them, they all look pretty much the same
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: Mr GTD on 15 October 2012, 19:32: I paid £15 for my GTD one from Gulf...
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: Murrayedition35 on 15 October 2012, 19:45: Same here..£15 + £2 postage, but my one has the 35 Logo... :whistle:

Get the strongest double sided tape you can get, something that is a little playable so it moulds to the dimples on the foot rest or as the wife calls it, the fart pedal. I used 3M tape and its done the trick, obviously make sure both surfaces are clean, a bit of autosol metal polish does the job. Once taped and in place I found the next way to get even pressure on it was to use my foot, simple but it worked cos you can get plenty of purchase from pushing against the seat.

Hope this helps?

P.s. I've just bought some no nails double sided tape in the house and that looks like decent stuff too?
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: Raffe on 18 October 2012, 21:07: I bolted my footrest on with the recessed Allen bolts that came with it and it looks good, used tape for my seat inserts though.
Title: Re: FOOT REST COVER
Post by: Arena8 on 18 October 2012, 21:28: Thanks guys,

I'll try the strong tape as suggested.... visit to Homebase tomz....... :whistle:

Post by: Murrayedition35 on 18 October 2012, 21:39: Double sided tape did the job for me.... :smiley:
