Alloy Foot Rest ?
« on: 12 June 2013, 13:22 »
As you know our GTI / GTD's will all come with Alloy pedals (be they manual or DSG versions), and we also know that for Left hand drive models, it also includes an alloy foot rest on the left. However for us Brits / Irish that drive right hand drive cars, VW have never catered for this market when it comes to alloy foot rests.

Therefore the question is, if anyone finds a source of good looking alloy footrests for the MK7 platform, could that post it here so that we can perhaps organise a group buy ?

I purchased one for my Rocco and really think it finishes the interior off

Would be good but I don't think it is available from VW.  3rd party?

Yes Bill, I'm pretty sure it will be 3rd party, as they were not even available for the MK5 / 6 directly from VW.

Mine was made by a chap called "Gulfstream11", I'll see if I can track down an email for him and see if he's interested in doing some for the MK7 ?

Well that was quick. Found out that Gulfstream's company is called Creations Motor Sport. I just emailed them about the possibility of getting an alloy foot rest for the MK7, and within minutes got this reply :

"Hi there xxxxxx,
Thanks for your enquiry.
We are working on a design and are looking to have them on sale in 4-6 weeks time.
Thanks
Bill"

I've got the seat inserts from gulfstream. I've had the same pair in my mk5, mk6 no1 and mk6 no2.
So I too can vouch for quality.

I've had three lots of seat inserts and two footrests from Gulf and they've all been spot on. My Ed35 footrest was his prototype and it was spot on first time!
