Left footrest

[p3eps]

Now that the photos are starting to emerge from the Golf R from the UK and Germany, I've noticed something else that we miss out on.
If you look at my pictures below, you'll see that the Germans get a nice looking aluminium footrest for their left foot, and we in the UK get a naff plastic chunk!
I remember a while back the DSG owners in the MK5 forums were seeking a cover for their UK cars, and a chap on the forum called Gulfstream11 produced some with a GTI logo on it - which looks very OEM.

I contacted him the other day, and asked him about making me one with an R logo on it.  I found a decent photo of the new style R logo and he's imported it to Autocad and can hopefully have it laser cut in the next week or so.  Its under £20 and as you can see from the photo of Hurdy's DSG GTI - it makes a big difference!  Well worth it IMHO.

And here's a photo of AlanD's manual one... with a bit of red tape stuck in behind the GTI logo.  Looks

Not keen on the red tape. Looks out of place next to the other pedals.

OSIR will probably be doing one soon as well, all Gulf's stuff is great, its just another option. 

Here is my osir one in my Mk 5 not the best pic but you also get the plastic insert.

As long as I have a pair of gleaming white socks on under them!

I know what you're saying, but its a foot rest that no-one is going to see!  I think the £20 one will do me fine

Hi p3eps.

PM Gulfstream11 - and he can make one up for you.
He said around £20 - so it might be slightly more / less?
