Title: DSG FOOT REST
Post by: SCOTTE on 24 May 2016, 20:27
I have looked at loads of pics of the Golf GTI of late and I have seen pics of a LHS footrest which match the aluminium pedals, however it seem that VW dont supply it looking at pics on their site.

Can anyone with DSG car confirm please?

Thanks

They don't its a plastic thing fitted as standard.

If you want the matching rest then there is a link in this excellent how to fit guide by Booth. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=276795.0

I have got one and can confirm it will fit both manual and DSG Mk7 Golfs. Bought mine from here
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-RHD-VW-Golf-7-MK7-Seat-mk3-footrest-pedals-Car-pedal-Cover/32218031571.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7,searchweb201602_2_10017_10021_507_10022_10020_10009_10008_10018_10019_101,searchweb201603_7&btsid=994412b2-1946-43f0-b7da-af15fac04c75

I believe a few have bought from this seller and not had any problems. It will take about 3 weeks to arrive from China. Be careful when you fit it as the locating lugs are very weak. I snapped one of mine but have no problems with it moving about at all as it is held in place with 1 Torx bolt. read Booth's guide (see link above) for more info and you will be fine  :smiley:

That's where I got mine - recommended by Booth. Took 2 or 3 weeks to come and wasn't very well packed, but not damaged, as it's pretty robust. The footrest is an excellent match for the other pedals and mine fitted without any trimming, or other modification. Looks great!  :smiley:

It is, that's same link as the one in my fitting thread.  They have multiple links and the price varies, as you'll see from JBGTI's link which is a bit pricier.  The link above or in my thread appears to be the cheapest price atm.  As said, takes roughly 3 weeks to come but it's a quality item.

Hi
As already said I also bought one of these from the same seller and on Booths recommendation I didn't hesitate once it arrived just over 2 weeks I was impressed the fit is very good and does match the existing pedal sets although you need to take a thin slither out the locating lugs on the back not too much though slips straight on bout 10 mins simplezzzzzzz  :whistle: :whistle: lol

I think they are different sellers within Aliexpress Bec. They certainly have different shop names so may not be the same product.

I think it's all the same product just different sellers out pricing each other.  If I was buying today I'd go for the cheapest price.  Anyway a couple of people on here have bought from that link and are more than happy with their product.  :smiley:

Was hoping there'd be a decent seller on Amazon as I got a £20 voucher having bought my Golf through Carwow! Oh well, it's still a cheap modification and I think it makes a massive difference.

Am looking to buy one of these but am confused by the 2 links to Aliexpress, the dearer one says for RHD cars the other does not and the pictures are very different

Booth11, or anyone who has actually fitted one, can you confirm that the cheaper link above and in Boots guide is for a RHD version as that link does not say RHD in the listing and I would hate to get the wrong item.

Thanks

Vidman, mine came from another link which is no longer active but someone on here bought the one from the cheaper link and said it was fine.  Somebody on another forum gave me that link as it was the same item, but cheaper.  The pics are just different views, looks exactly the same to me.

That's the one I bought and it is a great product, which is for RHD cars. If you want confirmation, look at the reviews, which include mine, most of which are from UK.

Mine has just come from that link which is from "simple life car shop"
Definitely RHD.

It's that good I'm just about to order another for my wife's car.  :laugh:

That's the same seller I had mine from. No problems at all. Arrived in about 3 weeks, well protected and packaged and no import duty to pay either  :smiley:
