Title: My German sucks
Post by: Mk1Macca on 23 February 2014, 11:11
Is this a foot rest? Would it work for a manual car?

Looks pretty snazzy :)

I'm not sure. But i've found this one on eBay, looks pretty smart.

yes that is a foot rest - however it's a foot rest for your left (clutch) foot in a LHD car....
probably can use for RHD but when can you ever rest your right foot ;)

hence the link to ebay looks different as this would be the left foot rest for RHD.

Those have the same design that they did for the mk5/6 which matched pretty well with the pedal design, however they've changed the design of the pedals in the 7 so it'd look a bit odd imo.

Highly unlikely  to be compatible with a RHD car, standard fit on LHS cars, if they made a RHS version, we'd already have it. There are some very good 3rd party manufacturers making RHD compatible versions.

Email the guys at AHW (you can do it in in english) and ask if they know if there's a RHD one? They were really helpful with my R lights, they ordered in the RHD set for me  :smiley:

Yes i thought that too Jimble. Maybe i'll send them an email and see if they can update their design.

"item is not in stock now"
