Forge do one as well. I think the Seat Sports ones are the best though

I've ordered a 'R' footrest.

Thinking of putting some type of red-coloured-backing underneath the R-logo cutout, also maybe some black under the chequered flag...

Indeed, but they're not exactly what I'd call 'good value'.

If only the base/surround of the LCR's gaiter could be separated (I think it's glued), then I could fit the yummy S3 (Mk1) gearknob. (Which I've already bought. And stained its leather 'LCR black'. But I can't use it. Because I'm impatient. And I bought it & stained it, before I thoroughly investigated whether or not it would fit. Because I'm impatient. And a t*@t. )

Just use self tapping screws into the plastic. No need to remove anything.
I only have two on mine and it's held for about two years with no issues.

hi Allan i see your has no logo on as i got just a old LC thats what i want were you get that from pls m8

Sorry, it was off a forum member who had it made a good while ago.
Can't even remember who it was

that looks like the proper seat/vw one tho.
i went to the dealer and asked about this its around £150 for the metal pedals and foot rest.

What about a 'used' pedal-set & footrest from a R32?

Might be worth trying this outfit - Stevens Volkswagen Dismantlers:

Yeah it was made like that. At the end of the day if someones good with metal work it's only cut to shape with a few countersunk holes in for show. Yep the R32 dead pedal is expensive. Nice though.

thx any way allan

typical i paid for 1 the other day.

my foot rest came yesterday.
good quality.
easy to fit. 2 clips to remove then it pulls out.
thew screws may need chopping off a little to fit snug.
also one of the top clips you may need to trim too.

Looks cool, but the footrest looks taller than the black plastic block that it's attached to - or has the camera-angle created an optical illusion?

What length self-tapping screws did you use? (I don't want to use screws that are too long - there maybe vital cables/pipes lurking beneath the footrest? )

 

[Deleted member 20376]

lol i thought that when i looked back at the pic but it does sit level with the plastic.

I don't think there's anything underneath but they were the kind used to fix number plates. No more than 20mm long.

That's good to know.

I don't think there's anything underneath but they were the kind used to fix number plates. No more than 20mm long.

R-logo footrest arrived today, so I'm off to buy some 20mm self-tapping screws...

Thanks for info, folks.
