RHD Footrest / Dead Pedal

[miks15]

Morning All,

I am slowly making my way through updating/restoring my interior on my touring. One of these steps is removing the carpet to deep clean and dye it black. There is a tear in the carpet right where the bulge is for the foot rest. I would like to put in a proper foot rest of some sort, as I don't like the way my foot sits on the carpet in that area, a proper footrest will also cover the damage to the carpet so its a win-win if I can make it look good.

Has anyone done anything similar on a RHD before? I can see they are available for LHD cars, but nothing for RHD.

I appreciate it can't be very wide without interfering with the clutch pedal, but I just want something that I can put my foot on at a more comfortable angle, and cover up the damage.

Thanks,

Mabey bolt/glue a piece of checker plate aluminium there?

Does the Auto E30 not have a foot rest?

Sadly no. Garagistric in the states are making LHD M3 foot rest replicas but I've seen no one do anything for RHD cars.

Thanks,

Will have a look at modifying a more recent bmw one I think. Want something that looks like it could have been there from factory.

I wonder if this is a good candidate for a 3d printed part?
