Title: OSIR footrest
Post by: wacky on August 07, 2012, 08:53:26 am: seen a few cars on here where people have got the OSIR footrest.
just wondered if this is the right one to fit a mk5 DSG http://www.thettshop.co.uk/interior.asp?cat=5002&product=802007 ?
or if not does anyone have a link to another please ?

One of the forum members Gulfstream11 does them for golfs.

Post by: wacky on August 08, 2012, 12:12:26 pm: does it just stick on ?

........which one did you go for?. The one in the pics is the hex screw & bolt fit(you can just see the small drill holes).The other one Gulf did was stick on,i went for the drill & screw fit. :smiley:

I have stuck mine on with some double sided tape currently as was struggling to remove the footrest but will be screwing it in place when I get a chance.

I have put some black vinyl behind mine and red tape behind the GTI logo, as you can see in the pic above :happy2:
