Got my pedal covers today and fitted them this afternoon.
As said, Clutch and brake are easy as and I spent a good 10 minutes trying to squeeze the Accelerator pedal cover on and put into hot water.

I ended up sliding on from top, top , bottom and right side slips on easy, then got a small flat head screwdriver and prised the left side of the rubber out a bit and pressed down on the cover and worked up the left side until secured.

This took less than a minute to do it this way :)

Poured down with rain this afternoon so first use was with wet feet and they grip just fine when wet and feel solid and secure. Very happy with them :)

They look great! I never noticed that the clutch was that much further away to the other pedals. Also I did wonder about how they grip in the wet

hi all
metal footrest plate came today so fitted that, to take the footrest off
undo bolt and remove using T15 torque tool
slide it up at the same angle as footrest to disengage the retainers underneath (as photos show) the retainers are tight i put screwdriver under the bottom edge and levered it

Looks good, I probably won't fit a dead padal though but was thinking about it.

The dead pedal I have seen on ebay for around £23 IIRC :)

Female friendly pedals, when you need to spread your legs a bit more! :rofl:

cheers, I paid £70 for it and Im happy with the job they've done.

I asked about the mirrors but they said the would be a bit tricky, so I left that..

I think for that money, its made a big difference, I think there was just too much red before :)

That's a good price, based on what I've experienced looking around. I'd agree, the black roof provides a nice amount of contrast. You see that with the people that chose the sunroof. Where are you based? Doesn't happen to the North East does it? lol

and ha no, North West.

I would recommend having it done, for what it costs, it makes a big difference, car definitely looks more sleek and sporty :)

And Ive just bought those 18" wheels,,(it came with the 17's), but I wish I had bought black wheels now :)
