Thanks vidman2.
My new alloy footrest cover from Creations Motorsport has a self adhesive pad and simply sticks on to the outward facing surface of the rest so I reckon that will be a 1 minute job.
Looks a v nice bit of kit too.
As original equipment that would cost VW about 5 quid to source and fit.........on a £28,000 list price car!

This is pretty much same as a genuine footrest and fixes on in place of original plastic one rather than sticking on.

Hello Booth 11, I enjoy your many posts....always worth reading.
Would you mind telling me which TPS depot supplied your Audi 12v plug cover? And will they post out?
Thanks v much.
PS : I have just ordered the footrest featured on this topic.....does anyone know how easy it is to fit?

Haha, only just seen this!  Obviously you are sorted now.

Thanks for your kind words. :smiley:

Just seen your post about the footrest. I had one of these in my previous GTI and though it has sticky pads, I strongly advise you to utilise the fitting screw or use a self tapping screw to secure as the sticky pads alone do not hold it for long in my experience.  I’ve got to say the aliexpress footrest as linked to in the fitting thread, though not gti logo’d, is superior to the stick on one in this thread.  Being a replacement footrest to the plastic oem one, it fits perfect and is so comfortable underfoot.  On aliexpress with a 14% discount on 11th coming up for anyone interested.

You can get OEM VW ones with the red edge like the ones found on the Clubsport 18" Belvedere wheels.
