the baron Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Im not sure whether they are a bit Halfords or they look OEM, what's peoples thoughts and has anybody bought a set, any fitting issues? They seem to be the same ones Design911 are selling for £250 https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/192554516232?rt=nc&_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3Dd22bcb616e7f46cfbc0de9f87378d132%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D11%26rkt%3D30%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D140957857076%26itm%3D192554516232%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2386202%26algv%3DDefault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulQ Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I like the look of them, but having never owned a car with metal pedals, don't your feet slip on them a bit, especially when wet etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 @the baron have something similar in my stash and they are fitted with rubber bobbles to help with grip. Decided against installing them simply because I wasn't sure they were really for me. These however are lovely.... https://www.srpracing.com/pd-986-boxster-1996-2004-porsche-racing-pedals.cfm ....and can be customised to suit a driver's preference.... https://www.srpracing.com/cat-pedal-options.cfm At some point a set of these will be installed in my mongrel car.

I suppose my only concern with these are that they are attached with screws through the plate and pedal and it might look a little Heath Robinson looking at the pic gallery, but that aside they are just what im looking for. No problem with them being form a small Indi in the US I bought my gear knob from these guys, bit expensive but well worth it: www.function-first.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'd be wary of anything aluminium only with no rubber (Might even be an MOT fail???). Ali is OK for nice soft race boot or trainer soles but that occasion you get in with leather soled shoes you'll be slipping all over the pedals. I do like the idea of the extra width to the throttle pedal to reduce the reach for heel toeing, although in the Boxster the pedals are pretty well spaced for that anyway. Wife's two most recent VWs have had the OE metal pedals with rubber insert or bobbles and they are no problem to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike597 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have some like those. Were fitted by previous owner but I quite like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 You know that listing is for only 2 pedals? Also if you buy lhd the foot rest shape is wrong. Anyway, I have a set of almost identical looking ones. They may have been from Design911. They work great for me and allow better heel and toe.

edc Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 When I had VWs it was easy enough to get the pedals from a TT onto most Golfs and Polos. Metal medal with horizontal rubber in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortzz Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have these on my 986 look brilliant , bought the car with them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el 3.2S Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 The set I fitted a few years ago, came from USA. I do not remember who sold them though. The quality is excellent, I think I paid around £90. They certainly lifted the interior from how it looked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
