cheers dude, as for the dead pedal easy job, double sided tape required, i used the double tape for the rubber to the back of the pedal so they stayed together and then used a stronger double tape to hold in place on the carpet and got 2 screws into the bottom of the pedal for further support easy job

for the wax/ polsih i used autoglym ultra deep shine and i think it works a treat :cool: http://www.autoglym.com/enGB/product-pr ... HF&Range=1

I wash the car using meguiars car wash NTX http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/catal ... ENT_WASH#2 and polish using correct polishing cloths etc and the results i think are wicked

I am tryign to see if you can get any in a brushed finish with the M stripes on, as mines in Alpine white I think a brush ally finish works better for me. Where did you get yours from?

Also love the cream carpet and blue mats nice combo too :)
