Default When mods don't look as good as you thought they would

Hehehe I am a big DIY kinda guy....

Alas had real high hopes for making some "sporty" looking pedals....but ummm
now I think its nuffy



although not all is lost... cost nothing to have a go.... lucky I did not drill them in, just used sticky tape to hold them in place for a look..

Did destroy one of the rubber feet in the process, I had hoped it would give a nice outter ring/barrier but whilst hacking into it it became uneven and cr4p..
left one has the rubber pad, right one is just cut out....

oh well back to the drawing board.

Outta interest, becuase the accelerator pedal is plastic, why do they put plastic ones on, I have not really had a great look at it, but I assume they did this so you could remove it?

might try to make up a steel one see if that looks any better...or god forbid, by a set!!!

post some pics of your pedals......

All pedals have to have ruber/rubberised plastic surface that your foot touches. Metal pedals are a defect in waiting
