to be honest, i think that looks crap and a "made in china" jobbie, i prefer the OSIR deadpedal.....it integrates nicer. The ones above have the slots which are a bit too far apart from each other and the slots themselves are a bit big. Call me OCD, but I prefer the OSIR deadpedal

Those ones are made in Australia.
The set i installed in my R are top notch and i could not be happier with the quality.

Just a note on WHEELS magazine, they have done a Hot Hatch shootout with all the big names including the R and GTI. Wont give anything away have a read

Be that as it may, i still reckon it doesnt look as nice as the OSIR one....its subjective of course.

And I dont see the need for the "other" deadpedal next to the accelerator? makes it look tacky IMO....

but whatever works i guess

Left and right pedal covers are standard kit for all left hand drive models OS.

Only the left one my friend!
There is no "right" one because the gas pedal is there close to the center tunnel. There is no "lefter than left one" (which is the equiv to the area you guys are putting the right cover on) as can be seen by this picture:

It's all right mate.
I kinda figure who cares what anyone else thinks when it comes to cosmetics?
I mean, if we all listened to everyone else, everyone would be driving Rising Blue R's and paying for facial reconstructions so their girlfriends looked like Rachel McAdams
