Post by: Hurdy on 31 January 2008, 22:50: Some people in the past have been hankering after a matching footrest for their GTI.

So what about this?

Just looked on the OSIR site.

US price is $279 so UK price is roughly 2/3rds the US figure once taxes and carriage have been added, so roughly you're talking Ã‚£190 ish. :nerd:

Post by: RedRobin on 02 February 2008, 09:51: ....Ã‚£190-ish would easily buy you a Forge DV and include a modest lunch!

Post by: Peskarik on 02 February 2008, 10:25: 190 quid for a footrest? that's insane! :lipsrsealed:

Post by: k4ith on 02 February 2008, 12:52: That's quite a mark up i'll bet for OSIR, you can buy the full pedal set for a MK5 GTi for Ã‚£75.

Post by: 2007GTI on 02 February 2008, 13:05: but, if it doesn't exist anywhere else for RHD drive cars, I'm guessing its been specially manufactured, hence the high price.

It will be made in china so i doubt it will cost the earth to make, aluminium plus some rubber slats - Ã‚£190 :laugh:

Post by: k4ith on 02 February 2008, 16:34: second thoughts lets get a OSIR group buy going with the TT shop? :smug:
Title: Re: OSIR footrest
Post by: k4ith on 02 February 2008, 19:30: checked the tt shop and the audi tt pedal cover is a modest Ã‚£20, think i might give them a call now.

Post by: john_o on 02 February 2008, 23:51: certainly love it but it would need to be well 1/2 that price before I could even consider it!
worth asking about a group buy though.
