2011fiesta Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks good nath. I have the same footrest sat in a drawer somewhere - how easy was it to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M.K Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I want that footrest! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks good nath. I have the same footrest sat in a drawer somewhere - how easy was it to fit? Easy peasy - 3 plastic things that screw in to the carpet then place the footrest over the top and screw the screws in to the plastic things!

tunne1rat Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The sills look quite thick in your pic... are they? My kids would probably kick them off if I fitted those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 The sills look quite thick in your pic... are they? My kids would probably kick them off if I fitted those! Not really - maybe 5-8mm? They're not going anywhere now they're stuck down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses-cuz Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Where did you get the footrest. Ive been after one. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Where did you get the footrest. Ive been after one. Cheers That particular one is from a set for an automatic Mondeo! So I now have a brake and accelerator pedal to sell :P Just keep your eyes on eBay as the Focus/Mondeo/Kuga/C+S-Max all have pedals using this design.

2011fiesta Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That particular one is from a set for an automatic Mondeo! Thats the set I have. So are the pedal covers on your fiesta screw in types or clip ons? As you'll have seen the mondy ones are screw ins - hence me putting off this job. I'm not exactly looking forward to drilling into the pedals :-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with yours as instructions show you need a rivet gun! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly looking forward to drilling into the pedals :-s Haha I drilled into my mk6 fiesta pedals to fit some chrome ones, used my dads drill and went through 2 drill heads - he wasn't very happy! They're much thicker than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunne1rat Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 If you are going to drill your pedals don't do what a mechanic at my local dealership did - he thought he could hold the pedal steady with his hand and managed to drill through the pedal and his hand. My advice, use a block of wood. It makes less mess on your carpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I now have a brake and accelerator pedal to sell :P Just keep your eyes on eBay as the Focus/Mondeo/Kuga/C+S-Max all have pedals using this design. I'm amazed that Ford don't sell this footrest for the Mk7 Fiesta. Fits perfectly and they could probably charge £40 - £50 just for the footrest and people would still buy it! I managed to buy a kit from an auto Mondeo a couple of years ago for about £15 off eBay and then sold the spare brake/accelerator to some guy in Italy for £10 - Bargain!

coysht Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Not the best image in the world, but this is the fixings in place in the carpet - they're worryingly similar to the plugs you use in plasterboard walls for !Removed! into.

They're much thicker than you think arrr I was hoping you were going to tell me how easy it was If you are going to drill your pedals don't do what a mechanic at my local dealership did - he thought he could hold the pedal steady with his hand and managed to drill through the pedal and his hand. :o I'm amazed that Ford don't sell this footrest for the Mk7 Fiesta. Fits perfectly and they could probably charge £40 - £50 just for the footrest and people would still buy it! They probably prefer people spending £120 on the mondeo set - or what ever the ridiculous RRP is these days lol Not the best image in the world, but this is the fixings in place in the carpet - they're worryingly similar to the plugs you use in plasterboard walls for !Removed! into. Do you have to drill holes for the wall plug type things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Do you have to drill holes for the wall plug type things? Nope, just screw in with a cross head screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ta-Daa, inspired by Nathan again - footrest now fitted (pedal covers are just blutack'd on to see what they look like. The brake one isn't quite big enough but will do, (if i ever find someone to fit them) Oh and yeah I know I need a new drivers mat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011fiesta Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 How big are your feet?!? 11, lol, but anyway I meant the cover isn't as big as the actual pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
