Just changed the seat switches over as well, makes quite a difference
How easy was it to change??Just changed the seat switches over as well, makes quite a difference
Combine it all with interior LEDs as well though
What like these bad boysWay ahead of you! How about genuine number plate LEDs?!
Yep, ebay, wasn't too much from China and look great. Get the set with the round ones included. All pop off easily with s screwdriver a pop in place, 10 min jobAre there facelift seat switches as well you can fit???
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
I soaked mine in red hot water for a minute or 2 to soften the rubber, and used a couple of plastic trim removal tools to prize the back on
Bit of elbow grease and pull them , start with one corner at the top and pull down from memory

Anyone changed the window switches to the aluminium tips? I did it in my S3 and think it would break up the door colours nicely.
I have swapped my switches for the facelift ones with the aluminium tips and you don't need to take the full door card off, just the cover for the arm rest, takes about 3min to fitFunny you should say that, have been tempted to do, but do you need to take the full door card off to do so?
