AND
(http://images.snapfish.com/346474:99%7Ffp33%3B%3Enu%3D3239%3E6:4%3E846%3EWSNRCG%3D323356:7845:5nu0mrj)
ok you can prob see the diff, the top image has a normal turn knob, the 2nd image has a much better looking twizle knobs.. (lol)
what one comes with the e30? if the 1st what do you need for the 2nd?
-
it won't come with the one shown here, it comes with dual climate as standard
-
the second image then??
-
First image is the US spec "Climatic" air con...UK spec GTIs get the dual-zone "Climatronic" climate control as standard, as in the 2nd pic
The really poor exchange rate for VW in America means that they have to keep the cost of the car down as much as possible to try and keep it competitively priced, hence the lower spec air con for the US GTIs
-
thank f**k!!!, i was gonna b really upset if i get the top ones!! the second 2zone controls just look SOOO much better!!! god i hope your right :D
-
Wow how cheap does the Radio look in the 2nd pic? Japanese me thinks
-
I noticed in the interior pic that there is an aluminium footrest, I went to the dealers the other day and their demo did not have one. Can anyone who has got a UK spec ED30 confirm if theirs came with an ali footrest or it it is an optional extra and if so where to get it and have it fitted. My ED30 should be arriving in 10 days and want to make sure it comes with it.
Many thanks
-
i think it only comes with the auto, dsg model.
was the one u saw at the dealer auto?
-
Mine is a DSG ED30 and it doesn't come as standard with an aluminium footrest - for sure!
-
Hi SteveS
It was an auto dsg 5dr, and only had the accelerator and brakes pedals in ali and a plastic footrest.
I have send the photo to my dealer with another one from another forum, I hope he will get back to me tomorrow.
-
in that case i have no idea :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:
-
Hi Hurdy
Do you know where they can be sourced?
-

US Satellite radio set me thinks.....

I haven't tried ordering one, but I would think that they would be left hand footrests anyway. UK domestic market doesn't have them as options or standard as far as I know
-
i remember the e30 at the dealers when i went had a foot rest, it was automatic... i cant see anything in the options mind you.. :s
-
only left hand drive cars have the aluminium footrest...all RHD cars have the black plastic ones and AFAIK, an aluminium one does not exist for the RHD car at all ...nothing your dealer can do about that
-
one i saw was rhd :huh: :rolleyes: :undecided:
-
The DSG car here http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/thread/911472.aspx has one, but only because the owner made it himself
-
I too seem to remember when I ordered the ED30 3 months ago that I saw an ali footrest, but maybe it was wishfull thinking as when I see the pictures it makes me want one.
Is it possible that they may have been supplied to the GTI's or earlier ED30's but have been left out now for cost cutting measures ?
-
Not available on Uk sold cars. Only imports might have one fitted
-
What about this!
It says it fits ALL VW MKV's and might be worth a punt at $80 inc post (£45)

I could swear the one I test drove had one too... but by the sounds of it I was imagining it!!!
-
no i swear the one i saw did too... wish i could check but they sold it

That's the left hand drive version :)
I could be wrong, but I really don't think a RHD version exists...even new RHD Audi TT Mk2s have plastic footrests, where the LHD ones are aluminium
-
Found another pic with an ali footrest, but lhd, although it says uk version.
http://www.motorauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/VW/Golf/30_GTI_02.jpg
The more I see it the more I want one !!!
-
cant be uk spec with lhd,... can it?? :laugh:

Negative on the aluminium footrest. Mine's a manual and although the pedals are alloy, the footrest is just plain plastic. :sad: However, its the same colour as the carpet so you can't really see it and the pedals take your eyes away from the foot rest anyway. :smiley:
-
Sounds like VW are penny pinching on some of the nicer touches, that make people want to buy their cars. I hope it's not a growing trend. :sad:

They made the 2 foot rest themselves, had contact with them on another forum, I think the Farther is some sort of engineer and works with metal.

doh

Ohh, the miss-match makes them look shyte - different to the OEM pedles - maybe should have re-made the accelerator and brake pedle to match.
