Decided the car neede one subtle change to it so ive changed the standard silver kick plate for the carbon one, it suits the black interior of my car better and almost makes the pedals look a feature where they just blended in before. Got it from ShiDevil on here, thanks Steve.

They do look good but.....
I took my silver one out of the car about a year ago when I had a issue with the switch for the brake lights. I did not put it back in and now I prefer it without it - it does not look as good but what i can do is put my left leg totally straight on journeys which I can not do if the plate is there.

and easy to check pedal box over, why would you want to hide such important stuff
Never had to check over my pedal box for over 3 years, however if I did want to it only takes about 2 minutes to remove the plate, you'd want to hide it because it doesn't look pretty and if without the plate there's more chance of something getting jammed behind your pedals and causing an accident perhaps... and easy to check pedal box over, why would you want to hide such important stuff

which is why i check mine when i service the car
are you talking about a car you look after yourself or one that is maintained by a garage
A car serviced by a garage,
So the odd throttle cable snaps, it never happened on my car, if id taken that approach to spares i should have carried a spare water temp sensor, spare finger followers, an engine crane, clutch, spare battery and radiator. Then leave the bonnet off to make access easier and it look cool... A bit extreme but you get the point. The kick plate should be there, it's easy to remove, chances are you don't need behind it more than once a year which takes 2 minutes during a service.
Or am I missing something?
