As you know I've been searching for OEM foot pedal covers that fit the pre-facelift B8 over the last few weeks.
Well I finally got the results I wanted! I didn't fancy fitting the older style B7 RS4 pedals, as essentially they were a bit of a faff to do, and strictly weren't made to fit the B8. Apart from the fact they are a pain to do as well!
Luckily I have a friend who works for TPS, so we got our heads together, and came up with something which fits the car 100% with no fuss. No cutting of rubbers needed, no softening of the pedals in hot water, KY jelly etc etc...
So here is the kit that I ended up fitting (including a RHD footrest that is essentially just a straight swap with no mods!)
So the part numbers to do this are as follows:-
VAG actually do a kit now for the B8 that comes with a comprehensive instruction manual, that tells you how to fit them.
Obviously this is for the S-Tronic, and I'm not sure if there is one available for manual cars, as I didn't search for that.
The RRP for this kit is £81.60 inc VAT from TPS
Now the footrest was a lot harder to track down, as there aren't many RHD Audi's that come with them, but in the end we took a gamble ordering in the footrest from the facelift RS6, and basically this has the lugs in exactly the same position as the B8 plastic footrest, so its just a case of popping the old one off, and clipping the new one in! I added some extra-strong double sided tape to the plastic lugs, and also to the underside of the footrest itself to ensure a secure and stable fit.
This is the part number for the footrest:-
The RRP for the footrest is £102.47 from TPS.
The pictures really don't do them justice, and it really sets the cabin off.
Don't be afraid of tackling this job yourself, it is straight forward when using the correct parts.
I hope this mini-guide helps someone out.
I may add some more pics of the kit taken in daylight. These pics aren't the best!
