*Incoming* - Custom Foot Rest

[WTF]

It's fine if we can get away with little things here and there - and things like the membership stickers I make ad hoc, so we don't ever have a huge investment of money spent on something we would have to stop selling.

Just thought "aaaah sweet, I'd like one of those" but then realised mine is a left hand drive car so it won't fit. Oh well... 😉

What shape is the European footrest then? Thought it would be the same just on the door side rather than the centre.

Which reminds me, still waiting to get my car back so I can take measurements

If it has an angle cut like the second picture in the OP, then it would only go onto a footrest where the centre console etc is to the left.

Dimensions are approximate, as it has rounded corners and measurements were taken on the longest parts. EDIT: Thickness is about 2-3mm


All my photos came out really dark, so here's an old one (which is still pretty dark because of the location and my lack of flash)

Excellent, will transfer the dimensions from autocad to paper and see if this works for my lhd DS3. 👍

Looking at this more, I think there is real potential for an actual DS3-shaped footrest to fit there, in the style of the club emblem in the page header / old sticker design, pointing nose-down, roof facing the centre, wheels facing the pedals.

Do you mean like this? I made it really quickly so the boot went a bit weird, I used the club logo and it's not been stretched so it's a bit short but within tolerance

[BenS]

^ Yes, just like that! Of course the artistic ones among us can play with the detail on the design but that was the general outline idea I was imagining.

For any new custom ones made, the angled part would probably have to reach higher up the left to make it fit better in the footwell, so the design could be moved up to accommodate for that and lose a bit of the dead space at the top.

[JEZDS3]

Great work on refining a design!

[Ds3rob]

If they were laser cut it would be quick and could have a design on it

[WTF]

It will be laser, and we can have it engraved and cut, so opens up some new design ideas and options

Example;


Spoken to the company, would anyone be ok to trace around their footrest and post that to me?

Serves as backup, and nothing is better than a physical outline you can compare to.

The Club design is great! I can have a bit of a designfest this afternoon @ work

Can I ask is there any progress on the foot plate , really great idea , would really like one

[DeeKayEcks]

Bump - those ones from Poland still seem to be the only ones out there. £60.00 when only wanting the foot rest is abit ouch.
