Customising for that personal touch?
Discussion
Now i've joined the ranks of the 'S' club and had a few days to familiarise myself with the car, i've already had the odd thought of 'that would be cool to...'etc,etc. ie the first thing that struck me on the long drive home, was 'why is there no clutch foot rest'?...it seems strange to me that a sports car with a heavy duty clutch doesn't have one (or does it?), as you end up with your foot resting uncomfortably on pedal (forbidden!) or on floor. Has anyone fitted one and where to get it? I also find the pedals too close together.
Also, what other tweaks have people done to make the car more personal/classy etc...i like the ally switch covers from Leven, anyone got these/recommend them?
All handy suggestions/tips greatly appreciated,
cheers
Mark.

Took me a while to work out that I can rest my clutch foot *under* the clutch pedal rather than trying to hold it above the pedal. Just twist your foot sideways if you see what I mean? I suppose it could vary from car to car but I've never found any problem with the pedals being too close together, in fact I find they're just right once you've set the pedal height to allow heel-and-toe.
Best thing I've seen is ally bezels on the guages as per LEEBEE's car. also buy a ally glove box handle from home base. Also fit ally knobs to the three switches in the middle. changes the look completely.
nice wood steering wheel (monza) the best looking one, and a wood gear knob (Halfords)to match.
If you email me with your address I'll send you some pics. you can't send pics through this site with an email.
all the best.

Yep cheers Johno, i knew i should have put a 'not max-muppet' type customisation disclaimer!..i'm after the stylish touches/tweaks.
Mind you the fluffy dice has made me think again!
I like the sound of those ally bezels for the gauges as long as it doesn't make the interior too 'ye-olde' sportscar look.?...and not keen on the wood interior bits for the same reason, i have an ally 'ball' gearstick and like that look.
