Left footrest

[Casabian]

Found them on Ebay aswell. You're given the option of a drilled pedal so you can bolt it to the foot rest or a non drilled pedal so you can stick it. I would personally prefer the non drilled and stick it with tape but would always be worried they came loose regardless of the quality of double sided tape. Any ideas???

Just went and bought the foot rest pedal that Osir offers. Abit more expensive (£55 ish) but I like the fact that it looks so much like the other pedals with the black groove inserty bits. I've got all these bits and pices for my car and no car to put them on yet  Ah well it's good to be organised.

So it has the black rubber inserts in that one the same as the other pedals,yes?

Another useful retrofit.
I think I might be spending the first year retrofitting the car.
What fun!

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.

Yes, i agree. RHD models cannot have the LHD footrest as the centre bulkhead eats into the footwell. What a pity!!

Yeah Snoopy, it looks identical to the accelerator pedal. I've not got my car yet to fit it but it looks the business.
