To be honest, no, not 100% Jimble, but was lead to believe it was by a pal over on another forum that's purchased from them and lead me to that website ?

If not, do you have any contact details for Gulf ?


I'm struggling to find anything other than sending him a PM on here, i bought my seat inserts from him on ebay and can't even find the purchase! :(

Check ya messages mate.

I keep looking at the YouTube videos and seeing the alloy foot rest on the left hand drive models. I will definitely have to get one ordered..

although the CAD design previews don't at all look like the LHD versions

They won't look the same though because the footrest is a different shape for a RHD car.

I can almost definitely confirm there will be no Alloy Foot Rest standard in the RHD GTI if the video is anything to go by.  The video link below at 0.31 shows only the blurry highlight of the pedals through the steering wheel, not the foot rest.

There is definitely no standard RHD alloy footrest in the GTI or GTD, anyone who already has one or has seen a demo can tell you that. VW have a long history of only providing for one in LHD and RHDers rely on custom jobs if they fit one. This thread is all about looking for an alternative.

Audi are the same from memory I wonder why they don't produce the parts?
