Default I got a little trick to mount Sparco pedals

I like those Sparco pedals but you can't mount them with the rubbers because they pushed (pushes ?) out while mounting. When it rains you got no grip w/out the rubbers thats why I wanna mount the pedals only with those rubbers.
So I took thin pieces of plastic to lay it under the pedals and I adhered (corrected) the rubbers on the backside of the pedals.
The gas-pedal is bended to fit the A4's 99.5+.
Of course you don't see the plastic pieces when the pedals are installed
Yes, bad work on the holes, I know ;P


Just the Sparco pedal:

The pedal with the plastic piece below:

The backside of the pedal with that thin plastic piece:

I adhered (corrected) the rubbers on the backside with a special glue for rubbers and metals:

Default Thank you for the english lesson ! ;)

Of course that my english is better than your german because why you should learn to speak german ? ;P
But you should be able to speak english.
English is spoken around the globe and I like that language. The american english not the real english (UK).

Default American English has one VERY important element going for it that no other language seems willing to

do. We do not care from whence a word or phrase comes. If it suits our usages we will incorporate it into our vocabulary be it of German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian or Arabic, etc., origin. This 'feature' allows American English to be very plastic, allows American English to be very expressive and colloquial but does complicate learning for those to whom it is a second language.
I used to speak a little French and Spanish but I've long since lost the ability through disuse. I do admire those who make the effort to learn another language.

Default While you are at it.
