Title: Dead pedal plate.
Post by: Gtiless on 19 February 2016, 22:49

I know this has probably been covered, but can someone post a link for a nice dead pedal cover for a Mk7 Gti DSG please?

I dont want it to say anything on it (ie no Gti),just a nice stainless and as OE looking as possible.

Thanks.

And after driving 250 miles with my left foot resting on it today, I can say it is a massive improvement over the oem plastic rubbish.  Remarkably good grip, a really worthwhile little addition.  :smiley:

They come from China so take a while to arrive. Think mine took 3 weeks but was Christmas time. But it was all in good order on arrival.

Good news is they are now $5 cheaper than when I got mine.  :smiley:

Thanks Rebecca,(and p3asa) I think they have charged me $42.39,inc del. so not bad really.

The website did not fill me with confidence though, and the register for an account part didnt like my full name (it said invalid characters) so I had to input a play on my name to get it to accept. I only have a regular,bog standard name BTW,nothing unusual or daft!

Thanks again for the link,I couldn't find one on ebay that I liked the look of.

It was the first time I'd used Aliexpress too, but all went ok.  And loads of others have used it for car related stuff.  I don't recall any issues registering though.

When it's turned up you'll get an email to ask you to confirm you have received the item,and the another asking for feedback. They seem quite thorough.

Depends on whether the exchange rate was better now or then really!

Maybe you should have entered your name using Chinese writing or adopted a Chinese name?!!  :grin:
