    And that link is soooo not working lol.

    Look under brackets and straps. The accelerator pedal rubber is listed at £135.50?!!

    It listed as plastic. So I'm guessing non grippy rubber? Anyone bought one to confirm or is this about to be sold out now been pointed out.

    I'll prob be grabbing a good second hand one from you soon then mike.

    You have been throwing them out! No way lol.

    And those ones on eBay look very plastic like and not rubber. Which is a shame

    The accelerator one on the Renault is plastic, only the clutch and brake are made of rubber. Only difference I can see is that its the wrong shape on the eBay link

    Good spot apart from the shape, does it look like it will fit though?

    I think the OE one is more angled left to right as opposed to being dead straight, if that makes any sense!

    Whilst I was down the garage digging out parts today I grabbed my pedal cover off and it is in fact plastic.

    Here a couple snap's from the one off my GTT.

    His system must be very out of date. This price increase was months ago now.

    they run the old system alongside the new as it helps them locate parts for the older cars. very helpful most of the time even if i just wanted a screen shot always willing to print one off.
