yes that's the thing I am after, interesting the old 2009 thread there was asking for £2 for each one yet the link on e-bay is £18 for what looks like the same item ?
£2 is tupid cheap and £18 seems more like it but I wonder if the item is the same as it looks like it and if so is it the quality of a £2 item ?
I see it has hollow holes unlike the other peddles which have raised rubber, obviously for grip on your feet but I wonder if you can get ones the same design
-
£2 was P&P, £20 was the actual price

Great little mod :happy2:

Yes currently on with double sided tape (although has been like that for 18 months :ashamed:). I have the same footrest as listed above bought from gulfstream. As I mentioned under the pic, I just put some red tape behind the GTI part of the footrest :happy2:
-
classic, brilliant dude, looks oem lol
-
although i have the same as the guys above....you can go oem quite cheap

-
prefer the one i have to be honest
-
weird they are a diff shape, oem one must go higher up then as there is a curve in all our cars isn't there ?
think the non oem one actually looks better as you say
-
I thought the OEM one was for dsg cars?
-
That OEM one looks like its for the LHD cars, which I think are a different shape.
Nodz I have a DSG but my footrest is the same shape as the Gulfstream footrest.
-
Must he for LHD cars then as the dead pedal would be next to the wheel arch not te centre console
-
gonna buy the one in this thread, not the oem one, looks cool and may even stick some tape behind in to make it look red lol
do you just screw it straight through the existing foot rest ?
-
yes....kit comes with new screws and nice counter sunk washers
:happy2:

sorry to be a muppet but does the old one just screw of then
-
no..the original is plastic but the screws supplied are actually threaded bolts so you need to attach the nuts from the inside to tighten it up

Here is a pic of mine when i did it

I have the OSIR one, looks very good but bloody expensive for what it is TBH. Whichever one you get, they all look good. :happy2:

hmm, I wonder if the osir one actually looks better, would you want gti written on it or osir, im not sure tbh.
if I have to bolt from the inside does the original one come off easily then to let you do this.
also why has nobody designed one with raised rubber grooves like the other pedals instead of blank spaces

The OSIR is the only one to my knowledge with the raised back treads. Im def gonna get one, one day.
We should start a group buy from Bold Sport and save on the shipping :happy2:
-
hmm, $90 dollars is a lot but it looks better with the raised rubber I think,
http://http://www.osirusa.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=OU&Product_Code=VGTI-ORST-R&Category_Code=
some of the osirusa things are crazy money I see
do you think it is worth trying to get a group buy on these ?
anyone interested in starting it up ?
-
If your after the OSIR Dead Pedal then get it through this link, amazed it still works after 4 1/2 years but it does as I got mine through it only a couple of months ago.
£49 just click on the words "WHEN YOU ORDER HERE" and you'll go straight through to Paypal. Mine turned up about 2 weeks later. OSIR products are shipped from Honk Kong I believe.

Red electrical tape for the cosmetic win :drinking:
-
yeah but the osir one looks better with the raised rubber to match the other pedals, worth loosing the gti logo for imo

Id def be in on a group buy Scott :happy2:
I would have liked to set one up but I'm away for christmas and new year from wednesday next week.
However I spoke to Bold Sport last week when I saw they wanted to charge £17 shipping for each footrest :confused:
I tried to see how much shipping would cost if we bought 10 footrests. The website calculated that each item would be charged for the up-to-1kg shipping option. :jumping:
I thought it must be an error so I emailed Bold-Sport asking how much shipping would cost for 10 OSIR Footrests.
They came back with….
"Hi carlo
we have last 3 set only, the total wegith around 750g, shipping cost to uk
Air Parcel with Tracking (10-21 working days) NOT include customs £12.54
EMS Express Mail (3-7 working days) NOT include customs inspection £21.36
thanks"
Then…
"sorry, the shipping cost should be
Air Parcel with Tracking (10-21 working days) NOT include customs £17.00
EMS Express Mail (3-7 working days) NOT include customs inspection £20.78"
Here is the Bold-Sport link. (Looks like they are out of stock now anyway) :booty:
http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=237
Like I say Id be up to joining a Group Buy, but Im not in a situation to organise one. Custom duty would need to be considered too when importing. :wink:
I now think MC71's Link is the way to go at £49 :laugh:
Is that the shipped price too Martin? :notworthy:
Oh Lordy just look at it :drool: :drool: :drool:

Buy it Carlo! Nice shiney present for you when you get back!

Why have i never done these cheap mods? The osir ones look really good!

@scott
There should be no import duty due on this item as its below the amount at which Import Duty/Tax is added/charged for this region (£135). I have never paid Import Duty on any items but it is payable on "Car Parts" and is 4.5% of the value of the goods and then and 20 % VAT on top, so approx' another £9.50 but as I say I've NEVER paid any or been asked to pay any. Hard to say if this is a "car part" or would come under another category. :confused:
EDIT: for future reference. This is the duty calculator I use.....

I think Ill order one around the 21st of December. :party:
Then I know I'm not gonna have a failed delivery. Dont the P.O only keep mail for a few weeks and then return to sender?
(mind you I doubt they will be in a rush to send it back abroad) :ashamed:

Is the plastic footrest easy to get out? Just a few bolts?

2 screws. Should by easy but I found the torx one kept turning so gave up. Gonna have another bash and try and force the panel a but when attempting to unscrew the torx.
If you could get both out first time it would be a 10 min job.

I had the exact same issue, which is the reason I stuck mine on...for 18 months now.
I need to get round to giving it a 3rd go. This time I was planning on just pulling out the one which doesn't screw out :fighting:

if it doesn't come out just haul the thing out whilst unscrewing it, cant be to hard and if it breaks it aint a vital part I guess
I ordered yesterday as well the tiny gti chrome logo insert for the mk6 mfsw, $52 man,,, bit pricey and now a wait as it is coming from hong bl@@dy kong lol.

Morning peeps
Coming up with my Christmas list and this is on it. However the link to the ebay one has ended. Have tried to search for another one using various searches on fleebay but really can't find one... Anyone help please with a Link?
Thanks! :happy2:

^^^^ just sent the seller "creationsmotorsport_com" a message through eBay as he seems to sell lots of different kinds of these so will no doubt be able to help you out.
