Default Removing pedals ...

I need to remove the plastic/rubber pedals that are currently used for braking and accelleration.

I checked the manual, as well as the CD-ROM that contains every detail about my car. Nothing there.

Can these be removed? Where can I find instructions for this?
Thanks in advance.

I need to install these:

Default Don't quote me but... I think those get screwed into the stock pedals...

I thought most (if not essentially all) aftermarket pedal kits attached to the stock ones with screws.

Default The accelerator pedal is moulded plastic, one piece... The

brake and clutch are different but both metal. You can remove the rubber boots from them but prying but unless you have clip on pedal covers you must install by drilling and screwing.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6757/oettinger_3.jpg"></center><p>There are rubber covers on the clutch and brake. Remove the covers, and drill holes in the steel. There's no "easier" way.

For the gas, there's no cover -- it is one piece plastic (resin, whatever). Drill holes directly in it and mount the gas pedal.

It's not the easiest -- probably an hour of drilling and installing (and you may need a special 90 degree drill because it's kinda tight on the gas pedal). I'd suggest mounting the brake over to the right about 1/4" -- that and the extra quarter inch thickness on the gas (because of no pedal cover removal) will make heel & toe a bit easier).
